About this color
Pesto sits at 43° on the color wheel with 42% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 42% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. 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, Pesto is rendered as rgb(145, 121, 59), where the red channel dominates at 145, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.
For print, Pesto translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 17M 59Y 43K. With a moderate key (43%), 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
