#525C3B Hex Color

Because #525c3b is desaturated and muted, it works best when balanced by high-contrast accents or lighter neutrals. Pair it with cream or warm white for readability, or use pops of mustard or terracotta to add necessary warmth and prevent the design from feeling too muddy.

This color leans toward the cool side of the spectrum due to its heavy gray and subtle blue-ish undertones, which counteract the yellow content of the green. Its muted nature keeps it from feeling overly vibrant, making it read as a neutral, grounded shade.
