#96838B Hex Color

Black text on Quail reaches about 5.9:1 contrast, which clears the AA requirement for small body text. White text falls well short, so keep type dark when #96838b sits behind it.

#96838b looks richest beside deep plum, forest green, and warm charcoal. Its greyed base keeps brighter accents from clashing, so use it as the 30% supporting tone rather than the lead.
