About this color

Sandal sits at 32° on the color wheel with 25% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 25% 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, Sandal is rendered as rgb(159, 130, 96), where the red channel dominates at 159, 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 40Y 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.
