About this color
Sanguine Brown sits at 5° on the color wheel with 41% saturation and 42% 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, Sanguine Brown is rendered as rgb(151, 71, 63), where the red channel dominates at 151, 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, Sanguine Brown translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 53M 58Y 41K. With a moderate key (41%), 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.
