About this color

Gothic sits at 195° on the color wheel with 24% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 24% 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, Gothic is rendered as rgb(97, 143, 158), where the blue channel is highest at 158, 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, Gothic translates to a CMYK breakdown of 39C 9M 0Y 38K. With a moderate key (38%), 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.
