#CCCCBB Hex Color

Kittiwake Gull #ccccbb provides excellent readability when paired with high-contrast text, achieving a 12.9:1 ratio with black. This makes it a reliable choice for body copy or large UI surfaces that require clarity without the harshness of a stark white background.

Because Kittiwake Gull leans heavily into grey, it works best with charcoal or deep navy tones to anchor the design. Using it alongside pure white can make the yellow undertones appear muddy, so opt for off-whites or soft creams to keep the palette feeling intentional.
