Lined Bagryanyi

#744750
Notes

Lined Bagryanyi (#744750) is a true 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 (348°, 24%, 37%) places it in the muted band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Lined
adjective

Old English līne, line / cord — past-participle of line. As a color modifier, lined implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-supported quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-lined-and-supported textile-or-print surface. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and coordinated in usage.

Bagryanyi
noun

The Russian word for deep crimson — used in Old Slavonic religious texts for the robes of saints and in modern Russian poetry for the autumn foliage. The color refers to bagryanyi-dyed Russian wool: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the matte finish of plant-dye-on-felt. Deeper than crimson, cooler than burgundy.
