About this color
English Holly sits at 118° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. The moderate 57% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. 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(12, 40, 11), where the green channel leads at 40, pulling the color toward the green-yellow axis. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, English Holly translates to a CMYK breakdown of 70C 0M 73Y 84K. The dominant black channel (84%) 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.
