#8A9098 Hex Color

Seal Grey pairs well with navy, charcoal, muted blue, and soft white, creating a restrained palette with clear contrast while preserving its cool, ashy character in interfaces, branding, and editorial layouts.

#8a9098 reads as a cool, muted blue-grey because its blue undertone keeps the neutral grey base from feeling beige or warm, while its restrained saturation gives interfaces and brand palettes a dusty, balanced appearance.

With black text, #8a9098 provides about a 6.5:1 contrast ratio, meeting WCAG AA for normal body text; white text is weaker at roughly 3.2:1, so reserve it for larger type.
