About this color
Cognac sits at 13° on the color wheel with 64% saturation and 40% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. At 64% saturation, the hue is fully legible and confident — richly chromatic without tipping into high-contrast territory. 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, Cognac is rendered as rgb(167, 65, 37), where the red channel dominates at 167, creating a strongly red-skewed appearance. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.
For print, Cognac translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 61M 78Y 35K. With a moderate key (35%), 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.
