About this color

Olivine sits at 84° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 60% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 29% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. At medium-high lightness, it holds its own on white backgrounds while remaining approachable.

In digital environments, Olivine is rendered as rgb(159, 183, 123), where the green channel leads at 183, 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, Olivine translates to a CMYK breakdown of 13C 0M 33Y 28K. With a moderate key (28%), 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.
