About this color

In digital environments, Deluge is rendered as rgb(108, 94, 161), where the blue channel is highest at 161, anchoring the color in the cool register. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Deluge translates to a CMYK breakdown of 33C 42M 0Y 37K. With a moderate key (37%), 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.
