Not quite black, and flatter than pure #000000. #050407 is an almost-black hex code with a faint purple undertone that reads sooty and dim. That slight softness makes it a strong base for dark mode UI and premium branding, where true black can feel harsh. White text hits about 20.5:1 contrast against it, so it clears WCAG AA for small body text with room to spare. Pair it with warm metallics or dusty mauve to bring out its undertone.
