About this color

Shadow sits at 36° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-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.

In digital environments, Shadow is rendered as rgb(132, 108, 72), where the red channel dominates at 132, 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, Shadow translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 18M 45Y 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.
