Regional-dress palette of the July gathering in Oaxaca where each of the state's eight regions parades its textiles.
In Practice
The palette, applied.
Three mock compositions built only from the colors above — a designer’s proof that cultural palettes translate into production surfaces.
Editorial · Poster
Blouse White grounds the field while Tehuana Red carries the display voice — a pairing built for titling weight.
Product · Packaging
Tehuana Red takes the front face; Mixteca Gold returns as a narrow band — a tested retail hierarchy.
Digital · Interface
Blouse White canvas, Caracol Purple type, Tehuana Red call-to-action — WCAG-legible contrast without leaving the palette.
Give your design a meaningful narrative — not just a color, but the reason it belongs.
