#517978 sits at 179° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 20% saturation and 40% 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 81, 121, 120 produces a 4.82:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #517978 is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 33 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.
