About this color

Cape Palliser sits at 23° on the color wheel with 35% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 35% 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, Cape Palliser is rendered as rgb(172, 117, 83), where the red channel dominates at 172, 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, Cape Palliser translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 32M 52Y 33K. With a moderate key (33%), 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.
