About this color
Aztec sits at 164° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. The moderate 37% 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, Aztec is rendered as rgb(16, 35, 30), where the green channel leads at 35, with red and blue channels close behind. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, Aztec translates to a CMYK breakdown of 54C 0M 14Y 86K. The dominant black channel (86%) 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.
