About this color

Sycamore sits at 50° on the color wheel with 51% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. The moderate 51% 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, Sycamore is rendered as rgb(154, 137, 50), where the red channel dominates at 154, 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, Sycamore translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 11M 68Y 40K. With a moderate key (40%), 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.
