#9C8C83 sits at 22° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 11% saturation and 56% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 156, 140, 131 produces a 6.49:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9C8C83 is a clear variant of CSS gray — about 31 units away from #808080. Designers reach for orange 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.
