Día de Muertos wraps death in fluorescent marigold petals. Every November, Mexican families build multi-tiered ofrendas — velvet-draped altars stacked with cempasúchil flowers, papel picado banners, sugar skulls, candles, and photographs of the departed — turning grief into a chromatic celebration that has no visual peer in the Americas.

This design system captures midnight at the ofrenda: deep velvet-purple grounds, blazing marigold-orange accents, hot-magenta cut-paper lattice, and candle-flame yellow warmth. Typography pairs Posada-era condensed impact with literary serif elegance, and every surface carries the crisp stencil-edge of papel picado and the soft fluorescence of cempasúchil petals.
