#8E7572 sits at 6° on the color wheel, placing it in the red family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 11% saturation and 50% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 142, 117, 114 produces a 4.94:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8E7572 is a close cousin of CSS gray — about 23 units away from #808080. Designers reach for red 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.
