About this color

Wafer sits at 5° on the color wheel with 22% saturation and 80% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 22% 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, Wafer is rendered as rgb(215, 195, 193), where the red channel dominates at 215, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. 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, Wafer translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 9M 10Y 16K. The low-to-moderate black value (16%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (10%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
