About this color
Emerald sits at 152° on the color wheel with 74% saturation and 45% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. At 74% saturation, the hue is fully legible and confident — richly chromatic without tipping into high-contrast territory. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Emerald is rendered as rgb(30, 198, 119), where the green channel leads at 198, producing a distinctly green-dominant tone. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.
For print, Emerald translates to a CMYK breakdown of 85C 0M 40Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its cyan ink content (85%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone. In brand applications, this exact value is specified as Chime Green.
