#6CB5AE sits at 174° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 33% saturation and 57% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 108, 181, 174 produces a 8.86:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #6CB5AE is a distant relative of CSS steel blue — about 64 units away from #4682B4. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
