#656757 sits at 68° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 8% saturation and 37% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 101, 103, 87 produces a 5.78:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #656757 is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 19 units away from #696969. Designers reach for yellow 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 warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
