About this color

Limeade sits at 70° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement.

In digital environments, Limeade is rendered as rgb(127, 153, 0), where the green channel leads at 153, pulling the color toward the green-yellow axis. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.

For print, Limeade translates to a CMYK breakdown of 17C 0M 100Y 40K. With a moderate key (40%), 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.
