#9E9198 sits at 328° on the color wheel, placing it in the rose family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 6% saturation and 59% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 158, 145, 152 produces a 6.96:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9E9198 is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 31 units away from #BC8F8F. 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.
