This hue is inspired by the deep, ruby-red kernels of heirloom maize varieties cultivated for millennia across the Americas. The color comes from anthocyanin pigments concentrated in the pericarp, creating tones that range from crimson to garnet depending on the variety and growing conditions. Red corn holds deep cultural significance in Indigenous agriculture, where it symbolizes life, sustenance, and renewal. Beyond its beauty, the hue reflects the genetic diversity of maize itself—a crop selectively bred into a spectrum of colors long before modern science understood pigmentation. This rich, earthy red captures both the heritage of ancient fields and the enduring vibrancy of living tradition.
