About this color
Firefly sits at 201° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 15% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 29% 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, Firefly is rendered as rgb(28, 43, 51), where the blue channel is highest at 51, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, Firefly translates to a CMYK breakdown of 45C 16M 0Y 80K. A substantial black component (80%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. In brand applications, this exact value is specified as Meta Dark.
