About this color

Kilamanjaro sits at 358° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 57% 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, Kilamanjaro is rendered as rgb(40, 11, 12), where the red channel dominates at 40, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Kilamanjaro translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 73M 70Y 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.
