About this color
Tussock sits at 39° on the color wheel with 46% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 46% 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, Tussock is rendered as rgb(186, 145, 69), where the red channel dominates at 186, 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, Tussock translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 22M 63Y 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.
