#86878c - Whale Tail color

A subdued mid-tone cool gray with a soft lavender-blue undertone, this color reads as sophisticated and restrained rather than stark. It evokes weathered steel or slate softened by dusk, making it well suited for modern interiors, textiles, and user-interface backgrounds where neutrality with a hint of color is desired. Pair it with warm wood, blush pink, mustard, or deep navy to create contrast and depth. The tone balances serenity and subtle elegance, working equally well in minimalist and layered palettes.
