#53616E

The hexcode #53616E is also referred to as "Payne's Gray". By itself, it is commonly associated with smart (96.8% match), masculine (94.8% match), and rational (93.3% match). When Payne's Gray is combined with Black, it relates to the terms smart and masculine. When joined with Platinum, it becomes more related to the term neat. When Payne's Gray is added to White, it shares association with the terms esoteric and clean. When paired with its complementary color #6E6053, a darker, cooler, and more saturated variant of the shade "Granite Gray", it shares connection with the terms fashionable or gloom. However, when we analyze the color next to its other triadic colors, #6E5361 (a shade of "Deep Taupe") and #616E53 (a shade of "Fern Green"), the resulting palette becomes cooler than the complementary color palette and changes from the color index category of "casual" to the "natural" category. Specifically, the new triad is most suggestive of monochromatic and dull.
