#3B4F51 sits at 185° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 16% saturation and 27% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 59, 79, 81 produces a 8.67:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #3B4F51 is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 58 units away from #696969. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for restraint and atmosphere, and at this lightness when they want weight, depth, and grounded contrast. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
