About this color
Rope sits at 20° on the color wheel with 53% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 53% 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, Rope is rendered as rgb(156, 84, 48), where the red channel dominates at 156, 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, Rope translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 46M 69Y 39K. With a moderate key (39%), 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.
