#A5AB9A Hex Color

#a5ab9a works best when anchored by deep charcoal or soft slate tones rather than pure white. These darker neutrals maintain the dusty aesthetic without making the design feel washed out, ensuring high contrast for text and foreground elements.

#a5ab9a is a balanced, cool-leaning neutral that sits between grey and green. Its ashy quality minimizes the vibrancy of lime, making it feel more like a soft, weathered stone than a bright or artificial botanical shade.
