About this color

Medium Red Violet sits at 316° on the color wheel with 47% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum.

In digital environments, Medium Red Violet is rendered as rgb(187, 68, 155), where the red channel dominates at 187, 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, Medium Red Violet translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 64M 17Y 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.
