Suggested color roles

primary

A bold firebrick red #B22222 that commands attention and evokes power. Ideal for main headings, calls-to-action, or key brand elements.

secondary

A brilliant pure gold #FFD700 that adds a luminous, luxurious gleam. Excellent for secondary sections, highlights, or interactive elements.

accent

A rich goldenrod #DAA520 that offers a slightly more muted, earthy gold accent. Perfect for subtle details, decorative patterns, or borders.

background

A deep crimson #8B0000 that provides a powerful, luxurious, and mysterious backdrop, allowing the golds to shimmer dramatically.

text

An earthy sienna brown #A0522D that offers a grounded contrast and good readability against lighter golds, suitable for subheadings or descriptive text. For text on #8B0000, a much lighter color like #FFD700 or #DAA520 would be needed.

Accessibility notes

#DAA520 (goldenrod) text on #8B0000 (dark crimson) or #B22222 (firebrick red) will have low contrast; use for large display text only.
#FFD700 (pure gold) text on #8B0000 (dark crimson) should provide good contrast for headings, but verify for body text.
Avoid using #A0522D (sienna brown) text on #8B0000 (dark crimson) due to very low contrast.
Ensure interactive elements have distinct hover/focus states, especially with these deep, rich tones.
