#9EA8E9 sits at 232° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 63% saturation and 77% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 158, 168, 233 produces a 9.23:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9EA8E9 is a clear variant of CSS sky blue — about 44 units away from #87CEEB. Designers reach for blue 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.
