Concord
Also known as: Going Grey , Friar Grey , Fieldstone , Grey Pepper
A muted gray with a quiet and sophisticated character, Concord works well for architecture and editorial layouts. Reach for a gray companion shade to give Concord maximum contrast. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.26:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Concord 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.
