Davy's grey (#555555) is a deep neutral shade that appears across 19 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Ilya Repin, Heinrich Hansen, and Joseph Kreutzinger and the Realism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Khaki (#C3B091), Raisin black (#242124), and Bone (#E3DAC9). The combination forms a grounded, archival chord, pulls a neutral anchor into a warm composition, with a moderate step up in value that keeps the source recessed.
