About this color
Mikado sits at 60° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. The moderate 37% 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, Mikado is rendered as rgb(35, 35, 16), where the red channel dominates at 35, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, Mikado translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 0M 54Y 86K. The dominant black channel (86%) 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.
