Suggested color roles

primary

#3E0000 (Deep Maroon) - Ideal for dominant backgrounds, large headers, or elements requiring a strong, luxurious foundation.

secondary

#1A2F4A (Deep Navy) - Excellent for contrasting panels, secondary navigation, or as a strong complementary color to the reds, providing balance.

accent

#D4AF37 (Antique Gold) - Use sparingly for calls-to-action, important icons, or decorative flourishes to convey luxury and highlight key information.

background

#3E0000 (Deep Maroon) - Creates a dramatic, opulent backdrop that makes the gold and lighter reds truly pop, offering a sense of depth.

text

#D4AF37 (Antique Gold) - Perfect for headings and key text over darker backgrounds like #3E0000 or #1A2F4A. For body text, a very light cream or white would ensure readability.

Accessibility notes

Ensure #D4AF37 has sufficient contrast against its background, especially if used for body text. It works best for headings or larger elements.
Avoid using #A01C1C as text on #6C0B0B due to insufficient contrast.
The combination of #3E0000 with #D4AF37 offers excellent contrast for headings and primary information.
For smaller text, use a near-white or light gray against the deep primary and secondary colors to ensure readability.
