7a7a7a

7a7a7a is a six-digit hexadecimal color code commonly used in digital design. When prefixed with a hash as #7a7a7a, it denotes an RGB color with equal red, green, and blue components, yielding a shade of gray. The numeric RGB values are 122, 122, 122, corresponding to a mid-gray tone with moderate brightness. In CSS and many design tools, #7a7a7a is classified as a neutral gray and is commonly used for backgrounds, borders, and interface elements where a non-distracting color is desired. Its grayscale nature makes it relatively easy to pair with a wide range of other colors.

On screen, the color provides moderate contrast against white and black text, and designers often adjust text color or weight to meet accessibility guidelines. In web development, it is a convenient, language-agnostic reference color and is fully case-insensitive; 7A7A7A, 7a7a7a, and other case variants refer to the same color. When preparing prints, the color must be converted to CMYK, which can produce differences due to printer profiles and ink limitations.

Beyond color specification, the string 7a7a7a can appear in software and data contexts as an identifier or value in hex-based systems, but its most common meaning in digital design is as a medium-gray color code.
