#72878D sits at 193° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 11% saturation and 50% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 114, 135, 141 produces a 5.57:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #72878D is a close cousin of CSS gray — about 20 units away from #808080. Designers reach for cyan 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.
