This hex was sampled from a photograph of the actual garment, not copied from a brand spec sheet. Comfort Colors is garment-dyed — the shirt is dyed after it is sewn — so the colour sits softer and slightly uneven, and a flat swatch from a dye chart overstates how saturated it looks in a listing.

Island Reef questions

What is the hex code for Comfort Colors 1717 Island Reef?
#A2D8C2 — RGB 162, 216, 194. It was sampled from a photograph of the garment rather than taken from a brand spec sheet, so it matches what a buyer sees in a listing photo.
Is this the official Comfort Colors hex?
No, and deliberately so. A brand hex describes the dye under studio conditions. This is measured from the shirt as photographed, which is the thing sitting in your listing next to your artwork.
Should I print light or dark artwork on Island Reef?
Island Reef is a light garment, so dark artwork reads best on it. White or pale ink will wash out against it, particularly once Etsy has compressed the listing image.
Can I use this hex in my Etsy listing graphics?
Yes, and it is better for that than a brand hex. It came from the same photographs the mockups are rendered from, so a colour grid built from it matches the mockups sitting beside it in the listing.
