About this color
Van Cleef sits at 359° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 19% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 57% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.
In digital environments, Van Cleef is rendered as rgb(76, 21, 22), where the red channel dominates at 76, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.
For print, Van Cleef translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 72M 71Y 70K. A substantial black component (70%) anchors this color in print.
