About this color

Pickled Bluewood sits at 212° on the color wheel with 25% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 25% 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(57, 75, 96), where the blue channel is highest at 96, 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 41C 22M 0Y 62K. A substantial black component (62%) anchors this color in print.
