Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #515656?
Muted ochre, dusty rose, and sage all lift #515656 without clashing. Its cool, desaturated base needs a touch of warmth nearby, or large areas can read flat and cold.
Is #515656 accessible for text backgrounds?
Yes. White text on #515656 reaches about 7.5:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 WCAG AA requirement for body text. Black text fails here, so use light type on this shade.
