dove gray

Muted bird plumage

Dove gray is a soft, muted gray with a slight warm or bluish tint, named for the plumage of doves.

It suggests understated elegance: The walls were painted dove gray.

Common in interior design and fashion, it sits between cool and warm grays—gentler than charcoal, more sophisticated than plain gray.
