Trout

I keep a mental picture of trout in cold water: not bright, just clean. Trout reads as a gray that's a touch more blue-green and a bit crisper than the softer, lighter Good Night!, while staying less earthy than Descent Into the Catacombs. Compared with Obsidian, it doesn't feel as deep or stone-heavy, so it lands feeling steadier and less "moodier."

For UI work, I use Trout when I want a background that looks deliberate but doesn't press forward: dashboards and finance apps, data tables, and the quiet secondary panels in healthcare admin screens. It's especially good behind dense charts because the slightly cooler undertone keeps lines crisp without turning clinical.

Pair it with near-whites for clean hierarchy, or with muted slate accents if you want a calmer rhythm than you'd get from Obsidian. If your palette leans very warm, Trout can start to look a little green-leaning, so it's worth a quick test in context.
