About this color

The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.
In digital environments, Plum is rendered as rgb(111, 42, 102), where the red channel dominates at 111, 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 62M 8Y 56K. A substantial black component (56%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
