#657475 Hex Color
Slate-cyan with a weathered edge
#657475 is a dusty cyan pulled almost to gray, closer to slate than to sky. Its low saturation reads weathered, so it works best as a supporting tone: a UI background or the 30% in a palette next to cream and warm sand. White text clears WCAG AA on it at about 4.9:1, enough for small body copy. Reach for it in tech or productivity design where plain blue feels too loud.
