About burgundy
A dark red with a purple lean, named after the French wine region. It is richer and cooler than maroon and signals a premium, wine-adjacent feel.
The values above are computed from the sRGB hex #800020. The OKLCH
form (oklch(38% 0.1523 18.62)) is worth noting: unlike HSL, its lightness matches
how bright the colour actually looks, which makes building consistent shade scales far
easier. To tweak this colour or convert one of your own, open the full
colour converter, and check readable text pairings
with the contrast figures shown above.
Accessibility note: text needs a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal body copy under WCAG AA. Against white this colour scores 10.83:1 and against black 1.94:1 — use whichever clears the bar for the text you place on it.
