About this color

Sage sits at 94° on the color wheel with 15% saturation and 60% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 15% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Sage is rendered as rgb(151, 168, 138), where the green channel leads at 168, with red and blue channels close behind. 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, Sage translates to a CMYK breakdown of 10C 0M 18Y 34K. With a moderate key (34%), 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.
