About this color

Reef sits at 108° on the color wheel with 95% saturation and 84% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 95%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.

In digital environments, Reef is rendered as rgb(190, 253, 175), where the green channel leads at 253, producing a distinctly green-dominant tone. High saturation at this lightness produces strong contrast against white — effective for CTAs, badges, and elements that need to stop the eye.

For print, Reef translates to a CMYK breakdown of 25C 0M 31Y 1K. With almost no black ink (1%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 25% cyan, 31% yellow. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
