About this color
Apple Blossom sits at 8° on the color wheel with 42% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 42% 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, Apple Blossom is rendered as rgb(181, 88, 74), where the red channel dominates at 181, creating a strongly red-skewed appearance. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.
For print, Apple Blossom translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 51M 59Y 29K. With a moderate key (29%), 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.
