About Sangria
Sangria, #92000a, is deep red with a warm orange undertone — named for the Spanish wine punch (from sangre, blood). Between crimson and oxblood, it is red at its most robust and inviting.
History
Sangria the drink is centuries old; the color name is recent, riding fashion’s appetite for edible reds. It sits in the "food and drink" naming wave alongside wine, cranberry and merlot — deep reds sold by flavor.
Psychology
Sangria reads bold, warm and festive — red’s intensity with a convivial, sun-soaked edge. It signals celebration and warmth without pure red’s alarm.
In design
Sangria is a text-capable deep red (11.8:1 on white) and a rich surface for cream and gold. Pair with terracotta, mustard, cream and charcoal. Warm, festive and hospitality palettes favor it.
In culture
Sangria on a terrace, the blood-red name (sangre), pitchers in the sun: a color that carries a whole Mediterranean afternoon.
