About #8A998A
The precise color #8A998A is an excellent choice for modern design projects. It is closely associated with the named CSS color Darkgray. In the RGB color space, it consists of 138 red, 153 green, and 138 blue.
While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 10% C, 0% M, 10% Y, and 40% K. Always request a physical proof before doing a large print run with this exact code.
From a UX and accessibility standpoint, contrast is paramount. Because it is a medium color, it is generally recommended to use #000000 text. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
