About this color

Black Bean sits at 152° on the color wheel with 33% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. The moderate 33% 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 Bean is rendered as rgb(17, 34, 26), where the green channel leads at 34, with red and blue channels close behind. 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 Bean translates to a CMYK breakdown of 50C 0M 24Y 87K. The dominant black channel (87%) 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
