About this color

Its restrained 10% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Green Spring is rendered as rgb(175, 186, 171), where the green channel leads at 186, 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, Green Spring translates to a CMYK breakdown of 6C 0M 8Y 27K. With a moderate key (27%), 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.
