About this color

Verdigris sits at 66° on the color wheel with 24% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 24% 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, Verdigris is rendered as rgb(91, 95, 58), where the green channel leads at 95, 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, Verdigris translates to a CMYK breakdown of 4C 0M 39Y 63K. A substantial black component (63%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
