About this color

Sepia Black sits at 347° on the color wheel with 88% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 88%, 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, Sepia Black is rendered as rgb(48, 3, 13), where the red channel dominates at 48, giving the color a clear red cast. 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 94M 73Y 81K. The dominant black channel (81%) 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.
