About this color

Scorpion sits at 285° on the color wheel with 2% saturation and 39% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. At near-zero saturation, it reads as a pure gray, with hue playing almost no role in its character. 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, Scorpion is rendered as rgb(100, 97, 101), where the blue channel is highest at 101, though it sits close to the other channels. 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, Scorpion translates to a CMYK breakdown of 1C 4M 0Y 60K. A substantial black component (60%) 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.
