About this color

Ironstone sits at 359° on the color wheel with 28% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 28% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors.

In digital environments, Ironstone is rendered as rgb(131, 73, 74), where the red channel dominates at 131, giving the color a clear red cast. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Ironstone translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 44M 44Y 49K. With a moderate key (49%), 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.
