Untroubled Sevilla

#9c484f
Notes

Untroubled Sevilla (#9C484F) 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 (355°, 37%, 45%) 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

Untroubled
adjective

Latin turbāre, to disturb — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of trouble. As a color modifier, untroubled implies a clear-and-calm-and-undisturbed quality where the hue carries no visual agitation. Sits at the crisp-and-calm end of the grid, parallel to serene and placid in usage.

Sevilla
noun

The Andalusian capital — and the saturated red of the capote (matador's cape) and sangría fountains of Sevillian fiesta. Sevilla as a color refers to the deep red of a flamenco dress in a tablao: a saturated, slightly warm deep red with the satin finish of multi-bath dyed silk. Warmer than burgundy, deeper than crimson.

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.
