Grayed out and gently green, #a3aba4 sits at the quiet end of sage. Its low saturation reads steady instead of fresh, which suits wellness, garden, and finance branding that wants calm authority. It works best as a supporting tone or UI background, and black text passes contrast checks comfortably on it. Pair it with warm terracotta or deep charcoal to keep it from going flat.
