About this color

Its restrained 21% 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, Dingley is rendered as rgb(104, 123, 81), where the green channel leads at 123, with red and blue channels close behind. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Dingley translates to a CMYK breakdown of 15C 0M 34Y 52K. A substantial black component (52%) anchors this color in print.
