#C48E81 sits at 12° on the color wheel, placing it in the red family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 36% saturation and 64% 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 196, 142, 129 produces a 7.53:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C48E81 is a close cousin of CSS rosy brown — about 16 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for red hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
