About this color
Hippie Blue sits at 189° on the color wheel with 27% saturation and 50% 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. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Hippie Blue is rendered as rgb(93, 152, 162), where the blue channel is highest at 162, though it sits close to the other channels. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.
For print, Hippie Blue translates to a CMYK breakdown of 43C 6M 0Y 36K. With a moderate key (36%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print.
