Exploring the Color #7C9083

#7C9083 sits at 141° on the color wheel, placing it in the spring green family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 8% saturation and 53% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 124, 144, 131 produces a 6.17:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.

In RGB space #7C9083 is a close cousin of CSS gray — about 17 units away from #808080. Designers reach for spring 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.
