#805A6B Hex Color
Dusty Pink with a Matte Finish
Closer to dried rose petals than fresh blooms, #805a6b is a dark, dusty pink with a matte, ashy finish. Its very low saturation keeps the mood mellow and understated, so it works best as a supporting tone in a 60/30/10 palette rather than the star. It flatters deep forest green better than the usual cream, and white text clears AA contrast on it.
