About this color

Rum sits at 240° on the color wheel with 14% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 14% 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, Rum is rendered as rgb(110, 110, 145), where the blue channel is highest at 145, 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, Rum translates to a CMYK breakdown of 24C 24M 0Y 43K. With a moderate key (43%), 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.
