Manorial Sangiovese

#c75340
Notes

Manorial Sangiovese (#C75340) 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 (8°, 55%, 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 cyan. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Manorial
adjective

Latin manōrium, dwelling — adjectival suffix -al, derived from manēre (to remain). As a color modifier, manorial implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-rural quality, the deep-rich color of pre-modern English manor-house livery-and-tapestry tradition. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to lordly and patrician.

Sangiovese
noun

The dominant red grape of central Italy — backbone of Chianti, Brunello, and Vino Nobile. The color refers to a young Brunello di Montalcino: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the optical complexity of well-aged Tuscan wine. Deeper than Chianti, cooler than Tempranillo.

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.
