#505989 sits at 231° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 26% saturation and 43% 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 80, 89, 137 produces a 6.71:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #505989 is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 44 units away from #696969. Designers reach for blue 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.
