Bountiful Tempranillo

#b72c4a
Notes

Bountiful Tempranillo (#B72C4A) 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 (347°, 61%, 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Tempranillo
noun

The dominant red grape of Rioja and other Iberian wine regions — early-ripening (temprano meaning early) and characteristically saturated. The color refers to a young Tempranillo in a glass: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the optical clarity of mid-to-high-tannin wine. Deeper than Merlot, warmer than Sangiovese.

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.
