#C9C68C sits at 57° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 36% saturation and 67% 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 201, 198, 140 produces a 11.94:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C9C68C is a close cousin of CSS tan — about 20 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.
