About this color
Melanzane sits at 296° on the color wheel with 65% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. At 65% saturation, the hue is fully legible and confident — richly chromatic without tipping into high-contrast territory. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.
In digital environments, Melanzane is rendered as rgb(40, 9, 42), where the blue channel is highest at 42, though it sits close to the other channels. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.
For print, Melanzane translates to a CMYK breakdown of 5C 79M 0Y 84K. The dominant black channel (84%) 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.
