MERCADO
Mercado evokes the historic urban spaces built upon Atlantic Forest territories, from port cities to popular street markets that bring together Indigenous peoples, Quilombolas, and migrants. This hue, lingering between wine and earth, resonates with adobe walls, packed earth, and warehouses where fish, fruit, and spices flow from the mountains and the coast. It is the color of a biome of paradoxes — at once Brazil\'s most inhabited, devastated, and studied region — where the forest and urban daily life constantly intersect.
