Tapas Tonight Colour Palette

Inspired by a tapas bar in Barcelona: terracotta tiles, saffron rice, olive oil, and the deep red of a good Rioja. A palette for restaurants, food brands, travel, and anything that needs to feel like a warm evening in the Mediterranean.

Usage guidance

Manchego provides a warm, appetising background. Terracotta is your primary colour for headings, buttons, and brand moments, grounding everything in Mediterranean warmth. Saffron adds a golden glow for highlights, badges, and secondary CTAs. Olive Grove brings a fresh accent for success states and natural touches. Rioja Dark keeps body text rich and warm. This palette works best when you lean into the warmth rather than fighting it.
