About this color
Hunter Green sits at 115° on the color wheel with 21% saturation and 11% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 21% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.
In digital environments, Hunter Green is rendered as rgb(23, 34, 22), where the green channel leads at 34, with red and blue channels close behind. Low saturation at this depth produces the kind of sophisticated, near-neutral dark that works for application shells, sidebars, and dark-mode base layers.
For print, Hunter Green translates to a CMYK breakdown of 32C 0M 35Y 87K. The dominant black channel (87%) 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.
