#A7A8B7 sits at 236° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 10% saturation and 69% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 167, 168, 183 produces a 8.93:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #A7A8B7 is a clear variant of CSS silver — about 36 units away from #C0C0C0. Designers reach for blue 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.
