About this color

Eggplant sits at 325° on the color wheel with 22% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 22% 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, Eggplant is rendered as rgb(93, 60, 79), where the red channel dominates at 93, 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, Eggplant translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 35M 15Y 64K. A substantial black component (64%) 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.
