Camo Clay
Also known as: Harbour Mist Grey , Devon Rex , Ellis Mist , Boreal
Camo Clay is what happens when gray turns medium and muted. The effect is balanced and versatile, made for editorial layouts and neutral backgrounds. Because it leans neutral, balancing it with a gray keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 5.02:1 on black clears AA.

Where Camo Clay works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: As a brand anchor it reads established and tactile; pair with a single vivid accent for energy.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
