Mexican Cantina Colour Palette

About this palette

Mexican Cantina is a curated five-colour palette designed for cantinas, street-food brands and lively hospitality. Earthy red and marigold bring warmth, while teal prevents the palette becoming one-note.

The colours are #8E1B1B, #F4A261, #E9C46A, #2A9D8F, #264653. Use the darkest and lightest values to establish hierarchy first, then introduce the supporting colours for accents, surfaces and visual rhythm.
