About this color

Lemon Ginger sits at 59° on the color wheel with 56% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum.

For print, Lemon Ginger translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 1M 72Y 38K. With a moderate key (38%), 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.
