Silver

Silver (#C0C0C0) is a pale neutral with a mono character. It's a grayscale value, at home in typography, dividers, and the structural layer beneath stronger colors. Its HSL profile (0°, 0%, 75%) places it in the muted band at a light lightness. It works as a soft page background, card surface, or low-key divider. Avoid it for body text against white. Pair it with almost any saturated accent. It's built to sit underneath or behind stronger colors without fighting them. A 75%-intensity neutral (R=G=B=192) from the HTML 3.2 named-color list. Pre-dates modern gray scales but remains the default tone for hardware chrome and form-element borders in many UAs.
