About this color

Rangitoto sits at 57° on the color wheel with 18% saturation and 20% lightness, placing it in the orange-yellow 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, Rangitoto is rendered as rgb(60, 59, 42), where the red channel dominates at 60, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. 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, Rangitoto translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 2M 30Y 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
