About this color

Crocodile sits at 40° on the color wheel with 18% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-red 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.

In digital environments, Crocodile is rendered as rgb(120, 108, 84), where the red channel dominates at 120, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Crocodile translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 10M 30Y 53K. A substantial black component (53%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
