About this color

Waiouru sits at 65° on the color wheel with 88% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 88%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.

In digital environments, Waiouru is rendered as rgb(44, 48, 3), where the green channel leads at 48, with red and blue channels close behind. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.

For print, Waiouru translates to a CMYK breakdown of 8C 0M 94Y 81K. The dominant black channel (81%) 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.
