About this color
Medium Red Violet sits at 317° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta 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, Medium Red Violet is rendered as rgb(160, 44, 127), where the red channel dominates at 160, 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, Medium Red Violet translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 72M 21Y 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.
