About this color

Bastille sits at 319° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. The moderate 37% 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, Bastille is rendered as rgb(35, 16, 29), where the red channel dominates at 35, 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, Bastille translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 54M 17Y 86K. The dominant black channel (86%) 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.
