#1A1B1D Hex Color
Near-black grey with a cool edge
Dim, near-black, and faintly cool, this grey sits a step above pure black. The hex code #1a1b1d makes a steady base for dark interfaces and moody layouts, and it flatters warm accents like amber or terracotta that keep it from reading flat. White text hits about 17.2:1 contrast here, so body copy clears WCAG AA with room to spare.
