#8D8EA3 sits at 237° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 11% saturation and 60% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 141, 142, 163 produces a 6.53:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8D8EA3 is a clear variant of CSS gray — about 40 units away from #808080. Designers reach for blue 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 cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
