About this color

In digital environments, Shiraz is rendered as rgb(185, 19, 58), where the red channel dominates at 185, 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, Shiraz translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 90M 69Y 27K. With a moderate key (27%), 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.
