About this color

Clinker sits at 31° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 10% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, 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, Clinker is rendered as rgb(51, 26, 0), where the red channel dominates at 51, 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, Clinker translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 49M 100Y 80K. A substantial black component (80%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
