#97A3AD sits at 207° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 12% saturation and 64% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 151, 163, 173 produces a 8.16:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #97A3AD is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 52 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for azure 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.
