Yacht Club
Also known as: Stream Bed, Soot, Limousine Grey Blue, Anchor Grey
Yacht Club is what happens when gray turns rich and muted. The effect is neutral and understated, made for architecture and editorial layouts. A gray counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.47:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Yacht Club works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- 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.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
