#C9E9A1 sits at 87° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 62% saturation and 77% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 201, 233, 161 produces a 15.65:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C9E9A1 is a clear variant of CSS khaki — about 44 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.
