Deep Violet / Plumbeous
#70727c
Deep Violet / Plumbeous is a medium neutral gray with only a faint cool, blue-violet tint, close to the dull sheen of lead, which is what plumbeous means. Veronia Purple brings out its subtle violet, Cream Yellow gives it a warm contrast, and Vandyke Brown grounds it with a dark earth tone. At roughly 4.8:1 on white and 4.4:1 on black it sits in the middle, fine for body text on white but better suited to large type on black. Use it for concrete-toned interiors, suiting fabric or a restrained brand palette.
