About this color

Dingley sits at 75° on the color wheel with 24% saturation and 40% 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. 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(114, 126, 78), where the green channel leads at 126, 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 10C 0M 38Y 51K. A substantial black component (51%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
