About this color

Heather sits at 210° on the color wheel with 25% saturation and 80% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 25% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.

In digital environments, Heather is rendered as rgb(191, 204, 217), where the blue channel is highest at 217, 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 12C 6M 0Y 15K. The low-to-moderate black value (15%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its cyan ink content (12%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
