About this color

Raw Sienna sits at 27° on the color wheel with 57% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the orange-red segment of the spectrum.

In digital environments, Raw Sienna is rendered as rgb(200, 120, 55), where the red channel dominates at 200, 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, Raw Sienna translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 40M 73Y 22K. The low-to-moderate black value (22%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its yellow ink content (73%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
