About this color

Plum sits at 316° on the color wheel with 45% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. The moderate 45% 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, Plum is rendered as rgb(148, 56, 123), where the red channel dominates at 148, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Plum translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 62M 17Y 42K. With a moderate key (42%), 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.
