Color Theory

Going Gray is a nearly neutral gray that functions strongly as a neutral. It sits near the neutral center of the color wheel, giving it a cool presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 12° gives it its gray character, its saturation of about 3% makes it feel nearly neutral rather than flat, and its value of about 65% gives it a mid-tone, usable weight.
