#797979 - Steel color

Mid-tone neutral gray with balanced luminance, appearing slightly cool yet very neutral. It reads as an even, muted stone gray—calm, understated, and versatile. Works well as a background or anchor color, providing subtle contrast without dominating. Pairs beautifully with soft pastels, warm wood tones, deep navy, and bright accents like mustard or coral. Under warm light it softens toward taupe; in cool light it leans bluer. Ideal for modern, minimalist, and industrial palettes seeking quiet sophistication.
