About this color

English Walnut sits at 25° on the color wheel with 22% saturation and 20% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 22% 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, English Walnut is rendered as rgb(62, 49, 40), where the red channel dominates at 62, 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, English Walnut translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 21M 35Y 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.
