About this color

Woodsmoke sits at 180° on the color wheel with 2% saturation and 8% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. At near-zero saturation, it reads as a pure near-black neutral, with hue playing almost no role in its character. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.

In digital environments, Woodsmoke is rendered as rgb(20, 21, 21), where the green channel leads at 21, with red and blue channels close behind. Low saturation at this depth produces the kind of sophisticated, near-neutral dark that works for application shells, sidebars, and dark-mode base layers.

For print, Woodsmoke translates to a CMYK breakdown of 5C 0M 0Y 92K. The dominant black channel (92%) 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.
