About this color

Turmeric sits at 51° on the color wheel with 53% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum. The moderate 53% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition.

In digital environments, Turmeric is rendered as rgb(195, 175, 60), where the red channel dominates at 195, 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 10M 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.
