About this color

Bon Jour sits at 247° on the color wheel with 18% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 18% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Bon Jour is rendered as rgb(226, 225, 234), where the blue channel is highest at 234, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, Bon Jour translates to a CMYK breakdown of 3C 4M 0Y 8K. The low-to-moderate black value (8%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its magenta ink content (4%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
