#C9E597 sits at 82° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 60% saturation and 75% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, very light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 201, 229, 151 produces a 15.14:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C9E597 is a clear variant of CSS khaki — about 41 units away from #F0E68C. Designers reach for chartreuse 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
