About this color

Patina sits at 171° on the color wheel with 18% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 18% 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, Patina is rendered as rgb(105, 150, 143), where the green channel leads at 150, 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, Patina translates to a CMYK breakdown of 30C 0M 5Y 41K. With a moderate key (41%), 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.
