About this color
Mauve sits at 292° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 88% lightness, placing it in the violet-magenta segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. The elevated lightness keeps it airy and open, well-suited to large surface areas without visual weight.
In digital environments, Mauve is rendered as rgb(247, 194, 255), where the blue channel is highest at 255, though it sits close to the other channels. High saturation at this lightness produces strong contrast against white — effective for CTAs, badges, and elements that need to stop the eye.
For print, Mauve translates to a CMYK breakdown of 3C 24M 0Y 0K. With almost no black ink (0%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 24% magenta. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
