#69576d

Antique Grey Color
Warm-toned grey with a strong purple undertone, closer to old bruised plum than to stone. Antique grey color (#69576d) reads grown-up and slightly moody, useful for wedding invitations, gothic-inspired interiors, and cosmetics packaging. Fights with warm yellows.
#ebecf0

Bright Grey Color
A cool light grey with a barely-there lavender undertone. Bright grey color (#ebecf0) is what freshly-poured concrete looks like on a cloudy day, useful for dashboard backgrounds and product photography. Lands between white and true grey without committing to either.
#a39d93

Classic Grey Color
A warm, taupe-leaning grey that never goes out of style. Classic grey color (#a39d93) is the shade interior designers reach for when they want to warm up a room without committing to beige. Anchors well against cream, black, or deep green.
#ece3e1

Cloudy Grey Color
A grey with a faint pink-brown tint, warmer than true grey and softer than beige. Cloudy grey color (#ece3e1) is what interior designers call greige, and use as a safe wall color that pairs with almost any furniture. Reliable without going boring.
#8c93ad

Cool Grey Color
A grey with a lavender-blue drift, closer to a stormy sky than to concrete. Cool grey color (#8c93ad) shows up in modern architecture, tech dashboards, and Scandinavian interiors. Never warm, never harsh.
#363737

Dark Grey Color
A working color, not a decorative one. Dark grey color (#363737) shows up in text weights, UI dividers, and every professional slide deck for a reason: it reads serious without shouting. On walls, though, it can turn moody fast if the room lacks natural light.
#cdccd0

Dusty Grey Color
The grey of forgotten attics, antique mirrors, and dust that’s settled for at least a decade. Dusty Grey (#cdccd0) is a cool light grey with a slight lavender undertone, soft enough to feel warm but neutral enough to fade into the background when needed.
#eae8e4

Faded Grey Color
Slightly warm, slightly dusty, the color of an old photograph. Faded grey color (#eae8e4) reads as quiet rather than sad, useful for minimalist packaging and understated interior walls. It never draws attention to itself, which is the whole point.
#808080

Grey Color
Middle grey is the reference point that the whole grey family answers to. Pure grey color (#808080) sits exactly 50% between black and white in perceived brightness, which is why photographers still use grey cards for exposure calibration. On its own, it’s the visual equivalent of “no comment.”
#d8dcd6

Light Grey Color
The default choice that nobody regrets. Light grey color (#d8dcd6) has a whisper of green in it, which is the tiny detail that keeps it from feeling like hospital linoleum. Walls, packaging, dashboards, wedding invitations: this shade works everywhere because it politely refuses to compete.
