Color family

What kind of yellow is Salomie?

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

Salomie's Munsell numbers: hue 2.3Y, value 8.8 (how light), chroma 6.1 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block light yellow, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 6.1 is low. This is a greyed, muted yellow, nearer neutral than vivid, which is why it reads as a surface rather than an accent.

There's still some room before it hits the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. It could go a little more saturated and stay in gamut.

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