In digital environments, Maize is rendered as rgb(250, 215, 158), where the red channel dominates at 250, giving the color a clear red cast. High saturation at this lightness produces strong contrast against white — effective for CTAs, badges, and elements that need to stop the eye.

For print, Maize translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 14M 37Y 2K. With almost no black ink (2%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 14% magenta, 37% yellow. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
