#C5C9BC sits at 78° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 11% saturation and 76% lightness, it reads as a heavily muted, very light tone — a quiet, restrained presence that recedes rather than competes. Its RGB mix of 197, 201, 188 produces a 12.45:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C5C9BC is a close cousin of CSS silver — about 11 units away from #C0C0C0. Designers reach for chartreuse 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
