About this color
Martinique sits at 243° 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, Martinique is rendered as rgb(59, 57, 96), where the blue channel is highest at 96, anchoring the color in the cool register. 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, Martinique translates to a CMYK breakdown of 39C 41M 0Y 62K. A substantial black component (62%) 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.
