Pupil
A deeply saturated and commanding near-black
Pupil is a sooty, near-black shade that anchors designs with authority and serious weight.

Use #070303 in moody editorial layouts or luxury branding where standard black feels too artificial. It pairs exceptionally well with muted metallic accents like copper or soft gold to avoid appearing muddy.
