Cloaked Tempranillo
Cloaked Tempranillo (#241314) is a deep red with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (356°, 31%, 11%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary cyan. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old French cloque, bell-cloak — past-participle of cloak. As a color modifier, cloaked implies a deep-fabric-shrouded quality where the hue is muffled by an enveloping textile-darkness. Sits at the deep-and-fabric end of the grid, parallel to mantled and hooded in usage.
The dominant red grape of Rioja and other Iberian wine regions — early-ripening (temprano meaning early) and characteristically saturated. The color refers to a young Tempranillo in a glass: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the optical clarity of mid-to-high-tannin wine. Deeper than Merlot, warmer than Sangiovese.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color sits well within the sRGB cube. P3 and sRGB share the gray axis and most desaturated tones, so a P3 display renders this identically to an sRGB display.
