#C0C2C0 Hex Color

Waxwing pairs well with deep charcoal, navy, and muted burgundy, which give its pale grey body something to press against. Skip pale pastels, which fade out beside it.

Yes for dark text. Black on #c0c2c0 reaches about 11.7:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA requires for body copy. White text fails badly, so keep light type off it.
