About this color

Carla sits at 80° on the color wheel with 80% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 80%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.

In digital environments, Carla is rendered as rgb(236, 250, 209), where the green channel leads at 250, with red and blue channels close behind. High saturation at this lightness produces strong contrast against white — effective for CTAs, badges, and elements that need to stop the eye.

For print, Carla translates to a CMYK breakdown of 6C 0M 16Y 2K. With almost no black ink (2%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 6% cyan, 16% yellow. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
