Bountiful Tempranillo

#8a174a
Notes

Bountiful Tempranillo (#8A174A) 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 (333°, 71%, 32%) 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Tempranillo
noun

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.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
