Rich Sevilla

#b65269
Notes

Rich Sevilla (#B65269) 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 (346°, 41%, 52%) 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Rich
adjective

Old French riche, wealthy, abundant — applied to color since the medieval period for hues that read as plentiful in pigment. Rich red, rich brown: the implication is depth combined with saturation, a color that gives the eye more to absorb. Sits at the saturated mid-light corner of the engine's grid, slightly warmer than bold and deeper than vivid.

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.
