About this color
Firefly sits at 189° on the color wheel with 44% saturation and 12% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. The moderate 44% 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, Firefly is rendered as rgb(17, 40, 44), where the blue channel is highest at 44, though it sits close to the other channels. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, Firefly translates to a CMYK breakdown of 61C 9M 0Y 83K. The dominant black channel (83%) 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
