#8991CB sits at 233° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 39% saturation and 67% 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 137, 145, 203 produces a 6.98:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8991CB is a distant relative of CSS slate blue — about 63 units away from #6A5ACD. Designers reach for blue 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.
