About this color
Black Russian sits at 246° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. The moderate 57% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. 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(14, 11, 40), where the blue channel is highest at 40, anchoring the color in the cool register. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, Black Russian translates to a CMYK breakdown of 65C 73M 0Y 84K. The dominant black channel (84%) 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.
