About this color

Crowshead sits at 24° on the color wheel with 9% saturation and 11% lightness, placing it in the orange-red 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, Crowshead is rendered as rgb(31, 28, 26), where the red channel dominates at 31, 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, Crowshead translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 10M 16Y 88K. The dominant black channel (88%) 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.
