About this color
Coffee sits at 35° on the color wheel with 16% saturation and 41% lightness, placing it in the orange-red 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, Coffee is rendered as rgb(121, 107, 88), where the red channel dominates at 121, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.
For print, Coffee translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 12M 27Y 53K. A substantial black component (53%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
