About this color

Copper sits at 31° on the color wheel with 50% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 50% 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(191, 130, 64), where the red channel dominates at 191, creating a strongly red-skewed appearance. 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 66Y 25K. The low-to-moderate black value (25%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (66%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
