About this color

Sail sits at 202° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 84% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.

In digital environments, Sail is rendered as rgb(173, 225, 255), where the blue channel is highest at 255, anchoring the color in the cool register. High saturation at this lightness produces strong contrast against white — effective for CTAs, badges, and elements that need to stop the eye.

For print, Sail translates to a CMYK breakdown of 32C 12M 0Y 0K. With almost no black ink (0%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 32% cyan, 12% magenta. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
