Brazil Color Palette
Carnaval saturation against Amazon green — the highest-chroma national palette in the Americas.
Brazil's color culture moves between the deep ecological greens of the Amazon and Pantanal and the maximalist saturation of Carnaval — feathered samba costumes, Bahia tile blues, and the yellow-green-blue of the flag. The Tropicália movement of the 1960s codified this contrast as a national aesthetic; contemporary Brazilian design (Burle Marx landscapes, Lina Bo Bardi architecture) builds on it. The supporting palette includes açaí purple, dendê palm-oil orange, and the warm terracotta of Salvador's colonial old town.
