About this color

Cherub sits at 320° on the color wheel with 53% saturation and 90% lightness, placing it in the magenta-red segment of the spectrum. The moderate 53% saturation gives it enough color presence to register clearly without competing for dominance in a composition. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.

In digital environments, Cherub is rendered as rgb(243, 216, 234), where the red channel dominates at 243, though the other channels keep the hue balanced. This warm mid-tone carries enough energy to serve as an accent without the intensity of a highly saturated warm color.

For print, Cherub translates to a CMYK breakdown of 0C 11M 4Y 5K. With almost no black ink (5%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 11% magenta. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
