With 12% saturation and 30% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 67, 85, 73 produces a 7.97:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.

In RGB space #435549 is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 54 units away from #696969.
