#553E7D sits at 262° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 34% saturation and 37% 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 85, 62, 125 produces a 8.86:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #553E7D is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 51 units away from #696969. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
