Smoky Black

No, #100c08 is not a true black because it contains subtle brown undertones that make it warmer and less harsh on the eyes. It functions as an off-black, providing a more organic, grounded feel for website backgrounds and typography.

Smoky Black works best when paired with high-contrast, light neutrals like cream or soft off-whites to maintain visual balance. For a sophisticated look, combine it with muted metallics like bronze or copper to highlight the brown undertones within the dark base.
