Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize `#DC143C` as the vibrant, central red, perfect for main branding elements or key calls-to-action that demand attention.

secondary

Employ `#B22222` as a rich, supporting red, suitable for secondary information or to add depth to larger red areas.

accent

Apply `#FF4500` as the brightest, most intense glow, ideal for interactive elements, small icons, or to simulate extreme heat and molten effects.

background

Designate `#5C0000` as the deepest, smoldering background, providing a dark, stable base that makes the brighter reds shimmer.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure `#FF4500` has sufficient contrast against all darker reds for text and interactive elements to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • White or near-white text is crucial on `#800000`, `#B22222`, and `#5C0000` for optimal readability.
  • Be mindful of the closely related red tones; ensure enough visual distinction for users with color vision deficiencies.
  • Avoid using `#800000` as text on `#5C0000` due to low contrast.
