About this color
Cadillac sits at 342° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 37% 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, Cadillac is rendered as rgb(175, 80, 109), where the red channel dominates at 175, 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, Cadillac translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 54M 38Y 31K. With a moderate key (31%), 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
