Pearl Mineral to Powder Slate

A gradient at the absolute edge of perception — pearl mineral barely shifting into powder slate. The 135° radial places pearl at the lower-left and lets slate fill the upper-right corners. Both ends sit at >85% lightness with very low saturation, giving the gradient its 'gallery wall' quality. Made for architectural firms, contemporary art galleries, premium B2B where colour shouldn't lead.

About this gradient

A gradient at the absolute edge of perception — pearl mineral barely shifting into powder slate. The 135° radial places pearl at the lower-left and lets slate fill the upper-right corners. Both ends sit at >85% lightness with very low saturation, giving the gradient its 'gallery wall' quality.

Colour story

#DAE1E1 is pearl mineral (HSL 180°, 14% S, 87% L) — barely past white with a cool lean. #CEC9D2 is powder slate (HSL 257°, 11% S, 81% L). Matched ~12% saturation creates the gradient's whisper-volume; the 77° hue gap is functionally invisible at this lightness but adds depth to what would otherwise be flat grey.

#CEC9D2
