Lined Sevilla

#a86a68
Notes

Lined Sevilla (#A86A68) 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 (2°, 27%, 53%) 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 cyan. 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.

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.
