About this color
Birch sits at 43° on the color wheel with 24% saturation and 15% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 24% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. Near-black lightness makes it read as a deep, absorptive tone — color is implied more than seen.
In digital environments, Birch is rendered as rgb(47, 42, 29), where the red channel dominates at 47, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. Low saturation at this depth produces the kind of sophisticated, near-neutral dark that works for application shells, sidebars, and dark-mode base layers.
For print, Birch translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 11M 38Y 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.
