#353C31 Hex Color
Muted moss with a shady edge
Somewhere between charcoal and damp moss, #353c31 is a dark shade of lime pushed so far toward grey it barely reads green. Its low saturation and deep lightness give it a shady, understated mood. That makes it a strong background or supporting tone in moody layouts and dark UI, and white text on it reaches about 11.4:1 contrast, well past AA for body text. Pair it with terracotta or dusty apricot to keep it from going flat. Its depth comes from restraint, similar to what colors make black, not from pure darkness.
