#0C1014 Hex Color
Sooty Blue That Borders on Black
#0c1014 is the hex code for a near-black blue with a sooty, ashy undertone. That heavy lightness makes it a dependable dark mode base rather than an accent. It looks richer against muted amber or copper than against plain white. White text on top reaches about 19.1:1 contrast, so small body copy stays readable.
