#988C9C sits at 285° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 7% saturation and 58% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 152, 140, 156 produces a 6.57:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #988C9C is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 38 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for magenta 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.
