About this color

Flush Mahogany sits at 0° on the color wheel with 56% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the red segment of the spectrum.

In digital environments, Flush Mahogany is rendered as rgb(199, 56, 56), where the red channel dominates at 199, 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, Flush Mahogany translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 72M 72Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (72%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
