#A8B8C6 sits at 208° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 21% saturation and 72% 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 168, 184, 198 produces a 10.34:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #A8B8C6 is a clear variant of CSS silver — about 26 units away from #C0C0C0. Designers reach for azure hues at this saturation when the brief calls for restraint and atmosphere, 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.
