#8497C5 sits at 222° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 36% saturation and 65% 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 132, 151, 197 produces a 7.21:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8497C5 is a distant relative of CSS slate blue — about 67 units away from #6A5ACD. Designers reach for azure 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.
