Abaddon Black
Abaddon Black (#231f20) isn't merely the absence of color; it's a profound, almost tangible darkness. This rich, deep black carries a subtle warmth in its undertones, giving it a less stark, more grounded presence than pure black. Its commanding depth makes it an authoritative choice for backgrounds, text, or elements requiring a sophisticated and powerful visual anchor.
