About this color

Mystic sits at 163° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% 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, Mystic is rendered as rgb(226, 233, 231), where the green channel leads at 233, with red and blue channels close behind. 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, Mystic translates to a CMYK breakdown of 3C 0M 1Y 9K. The low-to-moderate black value (9%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its cyan ink content (3%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
