#8C897B sits at 49° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 7% saturation and 52% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 140, 137, 123 produces a 5.98:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8C897B is a close cousin of CSS gray — about 16 units away from #808080. Designers reach for yellow 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 warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
