About this color
Leather sits at 29° on the color wheel with 35% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 35% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. 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, Leather is rendered as rgb(138, 101, 66), where the red channel dominates at 138, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.
For print, Leather translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 27M 52Y 46K. With a moderate key (46%), 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.
