Grey at its most practical. #6e6c6a is a mid-tone with a faint warm undertone, muted enough to sit back and let stronger colors lead. Treat it as a supporting surface or secondary background rather than a hero, since it can look flat next to pure white. White text reads clearly on it at about 5.2:1, which clears AA for body copy. It flatters burnt orange and deep teal when you want contrast without noise.
