About this color

Abbey sits at 300° on the color wheel with 2% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. At near-zero saturation, it reads as a pure gray, with hue playing almost no role in its character. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.

In digital environments, Abbey is rendered as rgb(78, 75, 78), where the red channel dominates at 78, 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, Abbey translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 4M 0Y 69K. A substantial black component (69%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
