#978b71 - Tawny Owl color

A muted, warm taupe with a gentle brown-gray balance and subtle olive-tan undertones. It reads as an earthy, vintage neutral—soft and sophisticated rather than stark—evoking aged leather, weathered stone, and sun-bleached sand. Works beautifully for interiors, textiles, and branding where a calming, grounded atmosphere is desired. Pairs well with cream, deep navy, burnt orange, and olive green to create cozy, layered palettes. Overall it feels quietly elegant, natural, and reassuring.
