About this color

Thunder sits at 270° on the color wheel with 8% saturation and 20% lightness, placing it in the blue-violet segment of the spectrum. At near-zero saturation, it reads as a pure gray, with hue playing almost no role in its character. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.

In digital environments, Thunder is rendered as rgb(51, 47, 55), where the blue channel is highest at 55, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, Thunder translates to a CMYK breakdown of 7C 15M 0Y 78K. A substantial black component (78%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
