About this color
Old Brick sits at 0° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 57% 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, Old Brick is rendered as rgb(160, 44, 44), where the red channel dominates at 160, 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, Old Brick translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 72M 72Y 37K. With a moderate key (37%), 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.
