About this color

Green Smoke sits at 66° on the color wheel with 28% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 28% 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, Green Smoke is rendered as rgb(156, 163, 92), where the green channel leads at 163, with red and blue channels close behind. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Green Smoke translates to a CMYK breakdown of 4C 0M 44Y 36K. With a moderate key (36%), 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.
