#9E9891 Hex Color

#9e9891 pairs naturally with high-contrast neutrals like charcoal or deep, desaturated tones like olive. Because of its ashy taupe quality, it acts as a stabilizing base that prevents brighter colors from feeling overwhelming in a layout.

This color sits on the fence but leans warm due to its subtle orange undertone. While it appears as a cool, dusty grey at first glance, that underlying warmth prevents the shade from feeling flat or clinical when used as a background.
