About this color

Its restrained 23% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Bismark is rendered as rgb(79, 115, 125), where the blue channel is highest at 125, 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 37C 8M 0Y 51K. A substantial black component (51%) anchors this color in print.
