About this color
Pickled Bluewood sits at 210° on the color wheel with 28% saturation and 28% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 28% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.
In digital environments, Pickled Bluewood is rendered as rgb(51, 71, 91), where the blue channel is highest at 91, 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, Pickled Bluewood translates to a CMYK breakdown of 44C 22M 0Y 64K. A substantial black component (64%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. In brand applications, this exact value is specified as Slate.
