Suggested color roles

primary

#FF0000 (Red) - A powerful, energetic primary color, ideal for main branding elements, large graphic areas, or a dominant background color for high impact.

secondary

#FF4500 (OrangeRed) - Offers a warm, vibrant counterpoint, suitable for subheadings, navigation elements, or secondary graphic accents, adding depth to the red tones.

accent

#40E0D0 (Turquoise) - A luminous, unexpected accent that adds a cool, electric contrast, perfect for calls-to-action or key highlights that need to pop with freshness.

background

#FFFF00 (Yellow) - A bright and energetic background that can command attention, best used sparingly. For a more versatile dark background, consider a deep blue or black.

text

#FFD700 (Gold) - Effective for striking headlines on dark backgrounds. For body text, black or a very dark gray (e.g., #1A1A1A) will offer better readability on lighter backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast when pairing #FFFF00 or #FFD700 with light backgrounds; dark text is usually necessary.
  • Avoid using #FF0000, #FF4500, or #40E0D0 for small body text due to their intensity.
  • When using #FFFF00 as a background, ensure text colors (e.g., black) meet WCAG contrast ratios.
  • Prioritize dark text (e.g., black) on #FFFF00 or #FFD700, and white text on #FF0000 or #FF4500 for optimal readability.
