#C5B979 sits at 51° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 40% saturation and 62% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 197, 185, 121 produces a 10.59:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C5B979 is a close cousin of CSS tan — about 24 units away from #D2B48C. Designers reach for yellow 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.
