Each month, we choose a color to highlight across elago’s accessories. October’s color is Dark Grey—a calm, understated shade that captures the quiet mood of an autumn afternoon.
From the essentials you carry to the desk setup you return to, this month’s picks bring together darker finishes, softer Medium Grey tones, and a few unexpected textures. Here’s how to make them part of your day.
Out the Door: iPhone and AirPods Essentials
Your personal style can extend to your phone and earbuds, too. Give these everyday companions a shared look with soft greys, darker accents, and a little contrast in texture.
The MagSafe Pebble Case brings a stone-inspired finish to the phone you reach for throughout the day. Its pebble-like surface offers a distinctive feel and comfortable grip, letting the texture—not a bold color or busy pattern—do the talking.
For a smoother finish, the Premium Silicone Case takes a softer approach. Its liquid silicone feels comfortable in your hand, while its understated shade pairs naturally with denim, knits, and darker accessories. It’s a simple way to refresh something you use every day without changing your whole look.
Your earbuds can join in, too. The Silicone Hang Case makes a matching companion to the Premium Silicone Case or a smooth contrast to the Pebble Case. Clip it to your bag with the included carabiner, and there’s no need to rummage around when you’re ready for a playlist on your walk home.
The finishing touch is tucked inside the lid. The Dust Guard adds a subtle metallic accent while helping protect the charging case’s magnetic inner surfaces from metal-dust buildup. Together with the Silicone Hang Case, it carries the grey palette inside and out—a small detail you’ll notice whenever you reach for your earbuds.
Back at Your Desk: A Little More Room
Carry the same understated palette into the space where you work and unwind. Alongside a favorite mug or an open notebook, a few thoughtfully chosen accessories can make your desk feel more inviting without changing its whole character.
Start by giving your laptop a little breathing room with the L2 Laptop Stand. Its clean aluminum design lifts your laptop above the desktop, leaving space to slide a notebook or keyboard underneath between tasks. Tuck them away when you’re not using them, and leave more room for the task at hand.
With your laptop in place, bring your iPad into the picture with the Magnetic Stand. Keep a reference image beside your work, or put on a video when it’s time for a break—the adjustable angle lets you position the screen to suit the moment. Use the included magnetic ring or a compatible elago Magnetic Folio Case, sold separately, to make your tablet part of the setup.
A little nostalgia rounds things out with the W10 Apple Watch Stand. Its retro-inspired design adds a playful contrast to the clean lines of your other accessories. Fit your compatible Apple Watch charger inside, and let your watch recharge while you settle into the day.
Make October’s Color Your Own
A coordinated look doesn’t have to mean matching every detail. Start with a case you carry every day or a stand that brings your desk together, then add the textures and touches you enjoy. Let October’s quiet grey palette inspire a look that feels like you—one you can enjoy long after the season changes.
