# Neutrals

## How they are used

Neutrals are used to provide utility and hierarchy without competing with our core and secondary colors. 

At CoinGecko, we also distinguish between neutrals that should be used on light backgrounds (Light Neutrals) and those that should be used on dark backgrounds (Dark Neutrals).  

This is so we can: 

1. Maintain a high level of accessibility while still ensuring our color palettes are cohesive
2. Don't create compositions that clash with other elements in an unpleasant manner.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Avoid combining neutrals from both the Light & Dark palettes. Stick to one set depending on the whether you're using them on a white (Moon Light) or dark (Moon Night) background.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that CMYK colors are a best estimate only (for printing applications). Always request for print samples and verify physically before placing large orders of items.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://brand.coingecko.com/visual-identity/color/neutrals.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
