#5B5B6F sits at 240° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 10% saturation and 40% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 91, 91, 111 produces a 6.62:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #5B5B6F is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 21 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.
