Verzino

Verzino (#A32C28) 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 (2°, 61%, 40%) 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. Red dye extracted from brazilwood heartwood. So valued in medieval Europe that when Portuguese traders found the same tree on a new coast in 1500, the country took its name from the cargo.
