About this color
Matisse sits at 207° on the color wheel with 69% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. At 69% saturation, the hue is fully legible and confident — richly chromatic without tipping into high-contrast territory. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Matisse is rendered as rgb(32, 109, 172), where the blue channel is highest at 172, producing a strongly blue character. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.
For print, Matisse translates to a CMYK breakdown of 81C 37M 0Y 33K. With a moderate key (33%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print.
