About this color

Mardi Gras sits at 292° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.

In digital environments, Mardi Gras is rendered as rgb(44, 0, 51), where the blue channel is highest at 51, 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, Mardi Gras translates to a CMYK breakdown of 14C 100M 0Y 80K. A substantial black component (80%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
