#9EC8C6 sits at 177° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 28% saturation and 70% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 158, 200, 198 produces a 11.53:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9EC8C6 is a clear variant of CSS silver — about 35 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.
