Basic Information

  • Subtles 2010 to 2023
  • Rich Regals 2005 to 2010

So Saffron is a light, rich golden yellow with a warm, spiced feel. It suggests saffron, spices and warm florals, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as honey, mustard, marigold or harvest gold, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

So Saffron is a soft beige that functions strongly as a neutral. It sits near the warm yellow-orange side of the wheel, giving it a warm presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 39° gives it its warm beige character, its saturation of about 44% makes it feel soft rather than flat, and its value of about 100% gives it a light, usable weight.
