About this color

Plum sits at 304° on the color wheel with 42% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. The moderate 42% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.

In digital environments, Plum is rendered as rgb(109, 44, 105), where the red channel dominates at 109, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Plum translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 60M 4Y 57K. A substantial black component (57%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
