About this color
Purple sits at 290° on the color wheel with 97% saturation and 30% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 97%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. The lower lightness gives it weight and depth, lending gravity to any palette it enters.
In digital environments, Purple is rendered as rgb(126, 2, 151), where the blue channel is highest at 151, though it sits close to the other channels. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.
For print, Purple translates to a CMYK breakdown of 17C 99M 0Y 41K. With a moderate key (41%), 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.
