Exploring the Color #6C7B6C

#6C7B6C sits at 120° on the color wheel, placing it in the green family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 6% saturation and 45% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 108, 123, 108 produces a 4.69:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.

In RGB space #6C7B6C is a close cousin of CSS dim gray — about 18 units away from #696969. Designers reach for 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.
