Winterberry

December 23, 2025

This hue is inspired by the vivid red of winterberries that punctuate bare branches during the coldest months. Their bright color comes from anthocyanin pigments concentrated in the fruit, creating a striking contrast against snow and evergreen foliage. In nature, this bold red helps attract birds for seed dispersal, while culturally it has become a symbol of warmth, life, and celebration in winter landscapes. It’s a color that feels resilient and festive, glowing brightest when everything else has gone quiet.
