Somewhere between dry moss and faded khaki, #848465 is a grayed olive with almost no saturation left in it. That matte, dusty quality suits outdoor brands, organic packaging, and quiet backgrounds. It turns muddy next to plain white, so treat it as a supporting tone rather than the star. The hex code still holds about 5.5:1 contrast under black text, enough for small body copy.
