About this color
Midnight sits at 249° on the color wheel with 44% saturation and 12% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. The moderate 44% 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, Midnight is rendered as rgb(21, 17, 44), where the blue channel is highest at 44, though it sits close to the other channels. This cool mid-tone is a reliable choice for UI chrome, informational states, and contexts that call for a calm, readable presence.
For print, Midnight translates to a CMYK breakdown of 52C 61M 0Y 83K. The dominant black channel (83%) 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.
