About this color
Onion sits at 42° on the color wheel with 80% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 80%, 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, Onion is rendered as rgb(46, 34, 5), where the red channel dominates at 46, 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 26M 89Y 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.
