About this color

Wattle sits at 59° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum.

In digital environments, Wattle is rendered as rgb(200, 198, 55), where the red channel dominates at 200, 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, Wattle translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 1M 73Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (73%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
