About this color

Gothic sits at 193° on the color wheel with 16% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the cyan segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 16% 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(107, 139, 148), where the blue channel is highest at 148, 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 28C 6M 0Y 42K. With a moderate key (42%), 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
