Pumice

Pumice (#DFD6C6) 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 (38°, 28%, 83%) 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. The frothy pale-grey of air-quenched volcanic glass, light enough to float on water. Roman baths used pumice stones the same way modern ones do.
