About this color
Black Rock sits at 267° on the color wheel with 84% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the blue-violet segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 84%, 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 Rock is rendered as rgb(23, 4, 47), where the blue channel is highest at 47, though it sits close to the other channels. 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 Rock translates to a CMYK breakdown of 51C 91M 0Y 82K. The dominant black channel (82%) 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.
