About this color

In digital environments, Pesto is rendered as rgb(128, 130, 74), where the green channel leads at 130, 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, Pesto translates to a CMYK breakdown of 2C 0M 43Y 49K. With a moderate key (49%), 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.
