Suggested color roles

primary

#DC143C (Crimson). Use this bold, striking red for key branding elements, calls to action, or dominant visual areas where a strong, energetic presence is desired.

secondary

#FF4500 (OrangeRed). A vibrant complement to the primary, ideal for subheadings, active states, or highlighting secondary information that still needs to pop with warmth.

accent

#FFD700 (Gold). Deploy this bright, luminous gold sparingly for interactive elements, small icons, or to draw immediate attention to crucial details, offering a radiant contrast.

background

#CD5C5C (IndianRed). A softer, warm red that works well for background sections, large content blocks, or subtle branding elements, providing a rich, inviting foundation.

text

#8B0000 (DarkRed). Use this deep, rich red for headings and larger text elements, ensuring good contrast against lighter backgrounds. For body text, consider a darker charcoal or black for optimal readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #FFD700 (Gold) and lighter backgrounds; it may require larger text or elements for readability.
  • Text in #8B0000 (DarkRed) against #CD5C5C (IndianRed) or similar warm backgrounds will likely fail contrast ratios for small text.
  • Prioritize high contrast for interactive elements like buttons and links, especially when using #FF4500 (OrangeRed) on lighter shades.
  • For critical information, avoid placing #DC143C (Crimson) text directly on #FF4500 (OrangeRed) backgrounds due to low luminosity contrast.
