Why it blends
A dark neutral done warm: espresso brown lifted through two even luminance steps, the midpoint essential because near-black verticals band hardest. It replaces flat charcoal when a layout needs warmth, per the no-cold-gray rule. Use for footers, photography backdrops, and dark cafe heroes; cream text passes contrast at every stop.
Built around Espresso.
