#9CAA8E sits at 90° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 14% saturation and 61% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 156, 170, 142 produces a 8.55:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9CAA8E is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 42 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for chartreuse 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.
