About this color

Paarl sits at 18° on the color wheel with 59% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 59% 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, Paarl is rendered as rgb(162, 78, 42), where the red channel dominates at 162, 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, Paarl translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 52M 74Y 36K. With a moderate key (36%), 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.
