#9EB0AC sits at 167° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 10% saturation and 65% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 158, 176, 172 produces a 9.26:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9EB0AC is a clear variant of CSS silver — about 43 units away from #C0C0C0. Designers reach for cyan 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 cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
