#72A9B2 sits at 188° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 29% 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 114, 169, 178 produces a 8.03:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #72A9B2 is a clear variant of CSS steel blue — about 59 units away from #4682B4. 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.
