Brume
Also known as: Bleaches , Snowglory , Fortitude , Dolphin Tales
Brume brings a neutral and understated feel to a palette. This soft gray suits 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, and empty-state illustrations, but 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.
