About this color

Lotus sits at 356° on the color wheel with 36% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 36% 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, Lotus is rendered as rgb(139, 65, 70), where the red channel dominates at 139, creating a strongly red-skewed appearance. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Lotus translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 53M 50Y 45K. With a moderate key (45%), 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.
