About this color
Turmeric sits at 53° on the color wheel with 52% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. The moderate 52% 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(194, 178, 61), where the red channel dominates at 194, 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 8M 69Y 24K. The low-to-moderate black value (24%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (69%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
