#487D7B sits at 178° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 27% saturation and 39% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 72, 125, 123 produces a 4.67:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #487D7B is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 43 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 a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
