#8C5179 sits at 319° on the color wheel, placing it in the rose family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 27% saturation and 43% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 140, 81, 121 produces a 5.89:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8C5179 is a clear variant of CSS dim gray — about 45 units away from #696969. Designers reach for rose 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
