About this color

Tussock sits at 40° on the color wheel with 41% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 41% 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, Tussock is rendered as rgb(180, 145, 75), where the red channel dominates at 180, 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, Tussock translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 19M 58Y 29K. With a moderate key (29%), 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.
