About this color

Wisteria sits at 293° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 29% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. 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, Wisteria is rendered as rgb(155, 91, 164), where the blue channel is highest at 164, though it sits close to the other channels. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Wisteria translates to a CMYK breakdown of 5C 45M 0Y 36K. With a moderate key (36%), 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.
