Light and very muted, #89c6d6 reads as a dusty pastel cyan, closer to a faded sky blue than vivid teal. Its ashy softness suits UI backgrounds and spring or baby palettes, but it washes out beside pure white, so ground it with deep plum or warm coral. That hazy look comes from low saturation, as if mixed with a little gray. Black text hits about 11.1:1 contrast, so body copy stays readable.
