About this color

Cinder sits at 309° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.

In digital environments, Cinder is rendered as rgb(29, 22, 28), where the red channel dominates at 29, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. 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, Cinder translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 24M 3Y 89K. The dominant black channel (89%) 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.
