#97969A Hex Color

Formal Grey #97969a acts as a balanced, true mid-tone that avoids strong warm or cool casts. Because of this neutrality, it pairs well with both saturated accent colors and muted tones without clashing or shifting the temperature of your interface.

Use #97969a primarily for secondary text, sub-headlines, or border elements where you need high readability without the harshness of pure black. It provides a softer, more professional reading experience while maintaining enough contrast to meet standard accessibility requirements on white backgrounds.
