About this color

Orinoco sits at 72° on the color wheel with 80% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 80%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement.

In digital environments, Orinoco is rendered as rgb(242, 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.

This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
