About this color
Bismark sits at 193° on the color wheel with 25% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the cyan 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. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Bismark is rendered as rgb(77, 117, 128), where the blue channel is highest at 128, though it sits close to the other channels. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.
For print, Bismark translates to a CMYK breakdown of 40C 9M 0Y 50K. With a moderate key (50%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
