About this color
Java sits at 182° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Java is rendered as rgb(0, 196, 204), where the blue channel is highest at 204, though it sits close to the other channels. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.
For print, Java translates to a CMYK breakdown of 100C 4M 0Y 20K. The low-to-moderate black value (20%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its cyan ink content (100%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone. In brand applications, this exact value is specified as Canva Teal.
