#a8b0ae - Puritan Grey color

Medium light and low in saturation, it feels calming, sophisticated, and slightly vintage—like weathered eucalyptus leaves or driftwood softened by salt air. Works well as a subtle background or accent in interiors, branding, and stationery where quiet elegance is desired. Pairs beautifully with warm beiges, ivory, deep charcoal, and rich walnut for a balanced, contemporary palette.
