About this color

Avocado sits at 67° on the color wheel with 23% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 23% 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, Avocado is rendered as rgb(120, 125, 79), where the green channel leads at 125, 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, Avocado translates to a CMYK breakdown of 4C 0M 37Y 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.
