About this color

In digital environments, Neptune is rendered as rgb(123, 181, 183), where the blue channel is highest at 183, though it sits close to the other channels.

For print, Neptune translates to a CMYK breakdown of 33C 1M 0Y 28K. With a moderate key (28%), 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.
