Brume
Also known as: Bleaches, Snowglory, Fortitude, Dolphin Tales
Brume is a soft, muted gray that reads as neutral and understated. It shines in minimal interfaces and architecture. Match it with gray accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (12.26:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Brume works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material — coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
