#C5A8D8 sits at 276° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 38% saturation and 75% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, very light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 197, 168, 216 produces a 9.97:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C5A8D8 is a clear variant of CSS silver — about 34 units away from #C0C0C0. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
