About this color

Gothic sits at 196° on the color wheel with 22% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the blue 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.

In digital environments, Gothic is rendered as rgb(99, 141, 156), where the blue channel is highest at 156, 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 37C 10M 0Y 39K. With a moderate key (39%), 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.
