Deep Grayish Olive

#635a3a

Deep Grayish Olive is a dark, drab olive-brown, the color of wet bark or an old field coat, neutral on the red-green axis with a quiet yellow undertone. Against Khaki and Burnt Sienna it builds a warm, earthy stack of browns; with Diamine Green it turns forest-dark; Ivory Buff gives it the pale relief it needs. At 6.9:1 against white it carries body text comfortably and makes a softer alternative to black for headings. Black on it, at 3.1:1, is too dim for reading. It fits waxed canvas goods, library-style interiors, and earthy identity work.
