About this color

Everglade sits at 125° on the color wheel with 22% saturation and 20% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 22% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.

In digital environments, Everglade is rendered as rgb(40, 62, 42), where the green channel leads at 62, 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, Everglade translates to a CMYK breakdown of 35C 0M 32Y 76K. A substantial black component (76%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
