About this color

In digital environments, Sandal is rendered as rgb(157, 129, 98), where the red channel dominates at 157, giving the color a clear red cast. This muted, medium-toned character adapts well to supporting roles: borders, disabled states, secondary text, and structural UI elements.

For print, Sandal translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 18M 38Y 38K. With a moderate key (38%), 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.
