About this color
Heather sits at 214° on the color wheel with 27% saturation and 80% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 27% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Heather is rendered as rgb(190, 202, 218), where the blue channel is highest at 218, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, Heather translates to a CMYK breakdown of 13C 7M 0Y 15K.
