About this color
Black Russian sits at 234° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 6% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.
In digital environments, Black Russian is rendered as rgb(0, 3, 31), where the blue channel is highest at 31, anchoring the color in the cool register. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.
For print, Black Russian translates to a CMYK breakdown of 100C 90M 0Y 88K. The dominant black channel (88%) does most of the tonal work here — cyan, magenta, and yellow contribute minimally, so the printed result will be a deep, near-neutral tone that reads differently from its screen equivalent. In brand applications, this exact value is specified as Zoom Dark.
