About this color

Marigold sits at 39° on the color wheel with 55% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum.

In digital environments, Marigold is rendered as rgb(198, 149, 57), where the red channel dominates at 198, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Marigold translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 25M 71Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (71%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
