Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #535a61?
Warm accents like terracotta, burnt orange, and brass bring out the blue hiding in Blued Steel's gray. Cool light grays work for supporting text and dividers. Avoid muted greens nearby, as they blend into the same dull range.
Is #535a61 accessible for text backgrounds?
Yes. White text on #535a61 reaches about 7.0:1 contrast, which clears the WCAG AA requirement of 4.5:1 for body text. Dark text on this shade fails, so stick with white or near-white type on top of it.
