About this color

Onion sits at 48° on the color wheel with 76% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow 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, Onion is rendered as rgb(45, 37, 6), 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, Onion translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 18M 87Y 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.
