About this color

Ironstone sits at 11° on the color wheel with 41% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 41% 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, Ironstone is rendered as rgb(144, 76, 60), where the red channel dominates at 144, 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, Ironstone translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 47M 58Y 44K. With a moderate key (44%), 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.
