About this color

Avocado sits at 56° on the color wheel with 26% saturation and 42% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 26% 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(135, 131, 79), where the red channel dominates at 135, 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, Avocado translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 3M 41Y 47K. With a moderate key (47%), 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.
