Plentiful Sevilla

#bc483a
Notes

Plentiful Sevilla (#BC483A) 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 (6°, 53%, 48%) 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

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.
