About this color

Java sits at 180° on the color wheel with 80% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 80%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.

In digital environments, Java is rendered as rgb(20, 184, 184), where the green channel leads at 184, with red and blue channels close behind. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.

For print, Java translates to a CMYK breakdown of 89C 0M 0Y 28K. With a moderate key (28%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
