Suggested color roles

primary

Designate `#FFD700` as the radiant gold focal point for headlines, call-to-action buttons, or key decorative elements to draw immediate attention.

secondary

Use `#8B0000` as a deep, classic red for prominent sections, large text blocks, or backgrounds that require a strong, historical presence.

accent

Apply `#B02020` as a vibrant, rich red for energetic accents, interactive elements, or to add a dynamic flair to designs.

background

Employ `#FAEBD7` as a soft, antique white base for backgrounds, providing a gentle canvas that allows the rich reds and golds to shine.

text

For optimal legibility on dark reds like `#4A000A` or `#8B0000`, use white or `#FFD700`. On lighter backgrounds like `#FAEBD7`, a deep charcoal or the palette's darkest red, `#4A000A`, is recommended.

Accessibility notes

The very light `#FAEBD7` should not be used for small text, as it will lack sufficient contrast.
Ensure good contrast when using `#FFD700` on `#FAEBD7`; these shades are close in value and may not be accessible for text.
The deep reds (`#4A000A`, `#8B0000`) provide excellent contrast for white or light gold text.
When pairing `#B02020` with text, ensure the text color (e.g., white or light gold) has a high enough contrast ratio.
