Stamped Loquat

#913b25
Notes

Stamped Loquat (#913B25) is a true red with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (12°, 59%, 36%) places it in the balanced 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 cyan. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Stamped
adjective

Old English stempan, to stamp — past-participle of stamp. As a color modifier, stamped implies a clear-and-impressed-and-repeating quality, the crisp color of William-Morris-and-Liberty-of-London block-printed-textile carefully-impressed pattern. Sits at the crisp-and-printed end of the grid, parallel to printed and engraved in usage.

Loquat
noun

Eriobotrya japonica, the East Asian rosaceous fruit — cultivated in China, Japan, and southern Europe for its slightly tart yellow-orange drupes. The color refers to a ripe Mediterranean loquat in May: a soft, slightly red yellow-orange with the satin finish of stone-fruit flesh. Lighter than apricot, cooler than tangerine.
