About this color
Saltpan sits at 132° on the color wheel with 24% saturation and 96% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 24% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. Its near-white lightness means it reads as a tinted white in most contexts, functioning as a soft background tone.
In digital environments, Saltpan is rendered as rgb(242, 247, 243), where the green channel leads at 247, 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, Saltpan translates to a CMYK breakdown of 2C 0M 2Y 3K. With almost no black ink (3%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: negligible chromatic ink, making it an essentially white print value. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
