About this color

Thunderbird sits at 13° on the color wheel with 95% saturation and 38% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 95%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. 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, Thunderbird is rendered as rgb(189, 45, 5), where the red channel dominates at 189, creating a strongly red-skewed appearance. High saturation combined with low lightness creates deep, jewel-toned results — useful for premium UI elements, hover states, and focused interaction areas.

For print, Thunderbird translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 76M 97Y 26K. With a moderate key (26%), 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.
