About this color

Its restrained 29% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Bossanova is rendered as rgb(69, 54, 99), where the blue channel is highest at 99, 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, Bossanova translates to a CMYK breakdown of 30C 45M 0Y 61K. A substantial black component (61%) anchors this color in print.
