About this color
William sits at 181° on the color wheel with 27% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 27% 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, William is rendered as rgb(56, 96, 97), where the blue channel is highest at 97, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, William translates to a CMYK breakdown of 42C 1M 0Y 62K. A substantial black component (62%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
