About this color

Mulberry sits at 314° on the color wheel with 37% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta 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, Mulberry is rendered as rgb(175, 80, 153), where the red channel dominates at 175, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Mulberry translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 54M 13Y 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.
