#a8a9ad - Chrome Aluminum color

A soft, muted cool gray with gentle blue-green undertones, this subdued neutral feels like weathered steel mixed with a whisper of slate. It reads calm and sophisticated, neither stark nor overly warm, making it ideal for modern interiors, minimalist graphics, and understated apparel. Its low saturation gives a soothing, balanced presence that pairs beautifully with warm wood tones, pale pastels, or crisp whites. Use it to create a serene backdrop that lends subtle depth without dominating a palette.
