About this color

Turmeric sits at 56° on the color wheel with 50% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. The moderate 50% 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, Turmeric is rendered as rgb(191, 183, 64), where the red channel dominates at 191, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Turmeric translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 4M 66Y 25K. The low-to-moderate black value (25%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (66%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
