About this color
Seaweed sits at 98° on the color wheel with 53% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. The moderate 53% 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, Seaweed is rendered as rgb(22, 39, 12), where the green channel leads at 39, 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, Seaweed translates to a CMYK breakdown of 44C 0M 69Y 85K. The dominant black channel (85%) 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.
