Cordovan is a rich shadeofburgundy and a dark shade of rose. Cordovan takes its name from the city of Córdoba, Spain, where the production of cordovan leather was first practiced by the Visigoths in the seventh century.[2] The term cordovan has come to describe the color of clothing – leather in particular; in this sense, the use of cordovan overlaps with that of oxblood.
The first recorded use of cordovan as a color name in English was in 1925.[3]
