About this color

Rangoon Green sits at 72° on the color wheel with 10% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 10% 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, Rangoon Green is rendered as rgb(27, 28, 23), where the green channel leads at 28, 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, Rangoon Green translates to a CMYK breakdown of 4C 0M 18Y 89K. The dominant black channel (89%) 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.
