About this color

Envy sits at 120° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 60% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. At medium-high lightness, it holds its own on white backgrounds while remaining approachable.

In digital environments, Envy is rendered as rgb(139, 167, 139), where the green channel leads at 167, pulling the color toward the green-yellow axis. Muted saturation at high lightness is a classic formula for soft background fills, placeholder states, and secondary surface colors in light-mode interfaces.

For print, Envy translates to a CMYK breakdown of 17C 0M 17Y 35K. With a moderate key (35%), 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.
