In digital environments, Link Water is rendered as rgb(223, 223, 236), where the blue channel is highest at 236, though it sits close to the other channels.

For print, Link Water translates to a CMYK breakdown of 6C 6M 0Y 7K. The low-to-moderate black value (7%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (0%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
