#9E9B96 sits at 37° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 4% saturation and 60% lightness, it reads as a effectively achromatic, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 158, 155, 150 produces a 7.58:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9E9B96 is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 33 units away from #BC8F8F. 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.
