#5F556F sits at 263° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 13% saturation and 38% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 95, 85, 111 produces a 6.96:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #5F556F is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 23 units away from #696969. Designers reach for violet 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.
