About this color
Copper sits at 29° on the color wheel with 45% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 45% 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, Copper is rendered as rgb(185, 126, 70), where the red channel dominates at 185, 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, Copper translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 32M 62Y 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. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
