About this color

Sepia Black sits at 335° on the color wheel with 76% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. At 76% 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, Sepia Black is rendered as rgb(45, 6, 22), where the red channel dominates at 45, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.

For print, Sepia Black translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 87M 51Y 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.
