About this color

Sisal sits at 42° on the color wheel with 25% saturation and 80% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 25% 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, Sisal is rendered as rgb(217, 209, 191), where the red channel dominates at 217, 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, Sisal translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 4M 12Y 15K. The low-to-moderate black value (15%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (12%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
