About this color

Copper sits at 29° on the color wheel with 56% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 56% 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, Copper is rendered as rgb(159, 100, 45), where the red channel dominates at 159, giving the color a clear red cast. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Copper translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 37M 72Y 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
