About this color

Eggplant sits at 324° on the color wheel with 21% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 21% 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, Eggplant is rendered as rgb(123, 81, 106), where the red channel dominates at 123, 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, Eggplant translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 34M 14Y 52K. A substantial black component (52%) anchors this color in print. The remaining ink channels supplement rather than drive the hue, which keeps the result stable across different paper stocks.
