About this color

Matterhorn sits at 343° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.

In digital environments, Matterhorn is rendered as rgb(87, 66, 72), where the red channel dominates at 87, 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, Matterhorn translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 24M 17Y 66K. A substantial black component (66%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
