A bracing tonic of sensuously tart with a palate-cleansing sprinkle of sweet, this strikingly lush and tangy hue holds a voluptuary sophistication rich in a savory sharpness. A bejeweled ruby red zest roused from pearl-like clusters of its namesake, this piquant hue is marked by undertones of ruddy rose, muddled raspberry and rhubarb, notes of a fiery translucent orangery, and a grounding hint of spice. Spectacularly stately, the glossy acidity couples beautifully with jewel-toned sapphire, emerald, and deeply saturated neutrals such as indigo and chestnut. It is equally energized by pairings of saffron and chartreuse while softened by whispers of lilac.
