#706E6A Hex Color
Steady grey with an ashy edge
#706e6a is a mid grey with a faint warm, ashy undertone and very little saturation. That restraint makes it a solid supporting tone in minimal UI, product design, and architecture. White text reaches about 5.1:1 contrast on it, enough for WCAG AA body copy. Next to pure white it can read flat, so keep some value contrast nearby.
