About this color

Eagle sits at 60° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 70% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. At medium-high lightness, it holds its own on white backgrounds while remaining approachable.

In digital environments, Eagle is rendered as rgb(189, 189, 168), where the red channel dominates at 189, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. 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, Eagle translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 0M 11Y 26K. With a moderate key (26%), 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.
