Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
Ashy, muted red. #7b6b6b sits so close to grey that its warmth only shows up next to cooler tones, and its mid-dark tone keeps everything calm and understated. That restraint makes it a solid supporting color or background, where white text holds a 5.1:1 contrast and passes AA for body copy. It looks richest against deep navy, but can read muddy when paired with other earthy neutrals. Use it when you want red’s weight without its noise.
