Jumbo
Also known as: Lunar Base , Looking Glass , Falcon Grey , Old Silver
As a medium take on gray, Jumbo carries balanced and versatile energy that suits minimal interfaces and architecture. Set it against a gray accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.83:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Jumbo works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and 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: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
