About this color

Bleached Cedar sits at 300° on the color wheel with 33% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. The moderate 33% 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, Bleached Cedar is rendered as rgb(34, 17, 34), where the red channel dominates at 34, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Bleached Cedar translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 50M 0Y 87K. The dominant black channel (87%) 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.
