How it's used
Colours in Cantonese often follow the pattern of adding a brightness modifier before the base colour. While 深灰 is standard, people might also describe this shade as 炭灰 when referring to a very deep, charcoal-like tone. It is frequently used when shopping for clothing or furniture to distinguish between subtle variations in neutral palettes.
