#9CE5EC sits at 185° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 68% saturation and 77% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 156, 229, 236 produces a 14.83:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9CE5EC is a clear variant of CSS sky blue — about 31 units away from #87CEEB. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want lift, air, and gentle emphasis. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
