About this color
English Holly sits at 144° on the color wheel with 84% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 84%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.
In digital environments, English Holly is rendered as rgb(4, 47, 21), where the green channel leads at 47, pulling the color toward the green-yellow axis. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.
For print, English Holly translates to a CMYK breakdown of 91C 0M 55Y 82K. The dominant black channel (82%) does most of the tonal work here — cyan, magenta, and yellow contribute minimally, so the printed result will be a deep, near-neutral tone that reads differently from its screen equivalent.
