About this color
Limed Oak sits at 40° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 37% 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, Limed Oak is rendered as rgb(175, 143, 80), where the red channel dominates at 175, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.
For print, Limed Oak translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 18M 54Y 31K. With a moderate key (31%), 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.
