#8AE1E8 sits at 184° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 67% saturation and 73% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 138, 225, 232 produces a 14.02:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8AE1E8 is a close cousin of CSS sky blue — about 19 units away from #87CEEB. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want lift, air, and gentle emphasis. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
