#736A70 Hex Color
Ashy magenta with a soft, dusty edge
This is not a loud magenta. #736a70 strips the hue down to a dusty, ashy mauve that sits close to grey. Its low saturation makes it a calm supporting tone, and it flatters deep navy better than beige. White text passes AA contrast on top at 5.2:1, so it works for UI backgrounds. Expect a soft, romantic feel in cosmetics and fashion palettes.
