Is Zinc Dust (#5b5c5a) suitable for UI typography?
Yes, it acts as an excellent, readable anchor for body text or sub-headings because it sits perfectly in the middle of the value scale. It provides enough visual presence to be distinct without the harshness of pure black or the potential illegibility of lighter greys.
