#8c9c9c - Boredom color

This muted mid-gray carries soft green-blue undertones that give it a cool, slightly desaturated character. It reads like slate or storm-silenced fog—calm, understated, and subtly sophisticated. In interiors or UI palettes it functions as a versatile neutral that balances brighter accents without overpowering them, lending contemporary restraint and a soothing background quality. It pairs especially well with warm wood tones, brass or coral highlights, and crisp whites for clean, modern contrast while remaining quietly elegant.
