About this color

Gray Asparagus sits at 101° on the color wheel with 12% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 12% 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, Gray Asparagus is rendered as rgb(73, 86, 67), where the green channel leads at 86, 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, Gray Asparagus translates to a CMYK breakdown of 15C 0M 22Y 66K. A substantial black component (66%) anchors this color in print.
