ART is Rhapsody's perceptual model. How ART works

What kind of yellow is Paris Daisy?

Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is Paris Daisy's, measured rather than asserted.

Paris Daisy's Munsell numbers: hue 8.9Y, value 9.5 (how light), chroma 15.6 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block vivid greenish yellow, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 15.6 is about as saturated as named colors get. Nothing muted shares this block.

It reaches 78% of the way to the edge of your screen's gamut (the palette a screen can actually show) for this hue. Strong, with some headroom left before the screen runs out.

Munsell coordinates and block from the ISCC-NBS system, computed by Rhapsody's own renotation inversion.

Is Paris Daisy accessible? Contrast with white & black

Strong contrast makes your work readable by everyone, and meets the WCAG standard accessibility law points at. AA is the floor; AAA is the tier worth aiming for in body text. Black text on #FFF46E clears WCAG AAA. Every strip below is one surface, and the marks are the steps that reach AAA on it.

Rows are text, columns are background · 68 of 210 pairings reach WCAG 2.2 AAA, shown here.

Paris Daisy in CMYK: one value for files, one per press

None of these presses can print this color. It's lighter than the paper, and ink only darkens a sheet, so the brightest thing on a printed page is the page itself. So what do you do? Pick a brighter stock, or let the paper be your lightest tone and build the contrast somewhere else.

In CMYK, #FFF46E is C0 · M4.3 · Y56.9 · K0. That is the value design tools and file formats use when no press is involved.

On press (what each standard prints)

Press values computed through the ICC characterization data each standard proofs against. Each CMYK above is the closest that standard can get. None of them reaches the color. It sits above the paper's own white.
