About this color

Apple sits at 117° on the color wheel with 69% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. At 69% 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, Apple is rendered as rgb(39, 172, 32), where the green channel leads at 172, 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, Apple translates to a CMYK breakdown of 77C 0M 81Y 33K. With a moderate key (33%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print.
