Suggested color roles

primary

Use #2B070A (Deepest Crimson) for main backgrounds, navigation, or strong brand elements, creating an immersive, luxurious feel.

secondary

Apply #3D0C11 (Dark Crimson) for secondary content blocks, subheadings, or borders, providing a slightly lighter, yet still intense, tone.

accent

Introduce #A33F52 (Muted Crimson) for subtle highlights, interactive states, or delicate graphic elements, offering a soft contrast.

background

Employ #5D1923 (Medium Crimson) or #7F2B39 (Rich Crimson) for content areas or cards, offering depth and elegance.

text

For dark backgrounds like #2B070A, #3D0C11, #5D1923, or #7F2B39, use white or a very light off-white. For elements on very light backgrounds, a deep charcoal or black is suitable.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for light text (e.g., white) on all darker shades: #2B070A, #3D0C11, #5D1923, #7F2B39, and #A33F52.
  • Avoid using adjacent shades for text and background without verifying WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios, especially for smaller text.
  • The palette is inherently dark; ensure adequate text size and weight to maintain readability on all backgrounds.
  • Consider using a slightly desaturated white for text to prevent visual vibration when paired with rich reds.
