Irish Moor
Also known as: Recycled Glass, Flagstaff Green, Median Green, Mossa
Quietly neutral and understated, Irish Moor is a neutral-toned gray that earns its keep in minimal interfaces and architecture. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.16:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Irish Moor works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- 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.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
