About this color

Hibiscus sits at 338° on the color wheel with 55% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 55% 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, Hibiscus is rendered as rgb(198, 57, 109), where the red channel dominates at 198, 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, Hibiscus translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 71M 45Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its magenta ink content (71%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
