Tomblike Sangria
Tomblike Sangria (#600946) is a deep magenta with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (318°, 83%, 21%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary green. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Greek tymbos, tomb — adjectival suffix -like. As a color modifier, tomblike implies the deep-and-funereal-and-sepulchral quality of Etruscan-and-Egyptian rock-cut royal-tomb interiors, particularly the Valley-of-the-Kings and Cerveteri-necropolis hand-carved chamber-painting walls. Sits at the deep-and-funereal end of the grid, parallel to sepulchral and crypted.
Spanish for bleeding — the wine punch named for its color, not the other way around. The color is the deep red of Tempranillo or Garnacha aerated with citrus and fruit: a warm, slightly translucent red-violet that catches light through a glass jug. Less black than burgundy, warmer than wine, with the dusty rim of a long afternoon.
