About this color
Heavy Metal sits at 125° on the color wheel with 15% saturation and 16% lightness, placing it in the green segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 15% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.
In digital environments, Heavy Metal is rendered as rgb(35, 47, 36), where the green channel leads at 47, with red and blue channels close behind. 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, Heavy Metal translates to a CMYK breakdown of 26C 0M 23Y 82K. The dominant black channel (82%) 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.
