#996A8C sits at 317° on the color wheel, placing it in the rose family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 19% saturation and 51% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 153, 106, 140 produces a 4.79:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #996A8C is a clear variant of CSS gray — about 35 units away from #808080. Designers reach for rose 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.
