Ui NeutralDark

Steel Concrete is a neutral and dark 2-colour linear gradient that runs from charcoal (#201F20) to grey (#716C71) at 200°. It suits subtle surfaces and app backgrounds and dark-mode interfaces and footers. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 9.4:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AAA).
