About this color

Blackcurrant sits at 287° on the color wheel with 18% saturation and 20% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 18% 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, Blackcurrant is rendered as rgb(56, 42, 60), where the blue channel is highest at 60, 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, Blackcurrant translates to a CMYK breakdown of 7C 30M 0Y 76K. A substantial black component (76%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
