Open Color textile direction
A softer gray set for grounds, shirting, linings, bedding, and low-contrast surface design. The values come from the MIT-licensed Open Color system, then are arranged here as a textile-ready story with roles for anchors, body cloth, grounds, and trims rather than as a UI-only scale.
