To represent dark green numerically, you use color codes that specify the intensity of red, green, and blue light needed to create that color. Here's how dark green is represented in different numerical systems:
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
RGB is a color model that describes colors as a combination of red, green, and blue light. Each component's intensity is typically represented on a scale from 0 to 255. For dark green, the RGB values are:
- R: 6
- G: 64
- B: 43
This means you need very little red, a moderate amount of green, and a small amount of blue to create dark green.
Hexadecimal (Hex)
Hexadecimal color codes are a shorthand way of representing RGB values. Each color component (red, green, blue) is represented by a two-digit hexadecimal number (base 16). The hexadecimal code for dark green is:
- #06402B
Where:
- 06 represents the red component (R: 6)
- 40 represents the green component (G: 64)
- 2B represents the blue component (B: 43)
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black)
CMYK is a color model used primarily for printing. It describes colors as a combination of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks. The CMYK values for dark green are:
- C: 0.91 (91%)
- M: 0 (0%)
- Y: 0.33 (33%)
- K: 0.75 (75%)
This indicates a high percentage of cyan, no magenta, a moderate amount of yellow, and a high percentage of black to achieve dark green in print.
