Exploring the Color #576E5F

#576E5F sits at 141° on the color wheel, placing it in the spring green family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 12% saturation and 39% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 87, 110, 95 produces a 5.53:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.

In RGB space #576E5F is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 21 units away from #696969. Designers reach for spring green 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.
