#656E51 sits at 79° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 15% saturation and 37% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 101, 110, 81 produces a 5.38:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #656E51 is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 25 units away from #696969. Designers reach for chartreuse 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
