About this color
Snuff sits at 260° on the color wheel with 29% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the blue-violet segment of the spectrum. Its restrained 29% saturation keeps the hue subtle — present but not assertive, making it easy to layer over or under more expressive colors. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.
In digital environments, Snuff is rendered as rgb(227, 222, 237), where the blue channel is highest at 237, though it sits close to the other channels. Muted saturation at high lightness is a classic formula for soft background fills, placeholder states, and secondary surface colors in light-mode interfaces.
For print, Snuff translates to a CMYK breakdown of 4C 6M 0Y 7K. The low-to-moderate black value (7%) means the color's character in print comes primarily from its magenta ink content (6%), with black serving as a supporting shadow tone.
