#231916 Hex Color

#231916 functions best as an alternative to pure black when you want a softer, more organic feel. Use it for text, borders, or background anchors to maintain a sophisticated, moody aesthetic without the harshness of a true #000000, while ensuring high contrast for accessibility.

Pair #231916 with soft, creamy off-whites or warm greys to capitalize on its dusty undertones. It also creates a striking, balanced look when placed alongside cool, muted sage or soft lavender accents, which offset its heavy, dark intensity.
