RED WINE COLOR: Psychology, Meaning and Code

Color Red Wine (Meaning and Code in the Color Chart)

The origin of its name is in Latin; the word “tinto” comes from “tinctus”, which translated into English means “dyed”. During the 17th century the production of white wine was much higher than that of red wine; this wine was sometimes “tinted” with red wine.

Meaning of the Red Wine Color

It is because of this custom that the red wine was called “tinted” wine which, as we said before in Latin, is “tinctus” and finally it was adapted to Spanish to be called “tinto”. It is a lighter shade than garnet. It is a mixture between brown and red that has a purple tint. This color is a dark shade of red and purple, belonging to the RGB group (Red, Green and Blue).

It is a representation of the color of red wine, also called burgundy or burgundy, referring to wines with these names produced in those French towns, although these terms can be used to define similar shades and hues more specific. These colours are widely used in the world of fashion, upholstery and decoration.
