#918F8E Hex Color

Slightly warm. Its red value sits just above green and blue, giving it a faint dusty warmth that keeps it from reading as a cold steel grey. Most people will see it as a true neutral, though.

Deep teal and rust give this grey the most life, since its muted warmth flatters both without competing. It also works as a supporting tone under navy in minimal interface design.

Yes, for dark text. Black type reaches about 6.5:1 contrast, which clears the WCAG AA threshold of 4.5:1 for body copy. White text fails badly here, so keep light type off this shade.
