About this color

Stiletto sits at 5° on the color wheel with 50% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 50% 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, Stiletto is rendered as rgb(153, 59, 51), where the red channel dominates at 153, 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, Stiletto translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 61M 67Y 40K. With a moderate key (40%), 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.
