#A8696C sits at 357° on the color wheel, placing it in the red family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 27% saturation and 54% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 168, 105, 108 produces a 4.90:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #A8696C is a clear variant of CSS gray — about 50 units away from #808080. Designers reach for red 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.
