#C49E89 sits at 21° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 33% saturation and 65% 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, 158, 137 produces a 8.60:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C49E89 is a close cousin of CSS rosy brown — about 18 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for orange 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.
