About this color

Lotus sits at 354° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 29% 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, Lotus is rendered as rgb(132, 72, 78), where the red channel dominates at 132, 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, Lotus translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 45M 41Y 48K. With a moderate key (48%), 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
