Suggested color roles

primary

#800000: A classic, deep maroon, serving as a strong and sophisticated base for large areas or primary brand elements.

secondary

#B22222: A vibrant, rich red that adds warmth and energy, ideal for interactive states, subheadings, or complementary design elements.

accent

#B22222: The brightest color, best for small, impactful highlights, calls-to-action, or important icons to create focal points.

background

#4A0000: The deepest, darkest red, providing a profound, immersive backdrop that enhances the luxurious feel.

text

#B22222: Offers the best contrast for text on the darkest backgrounds within this palette, or use a near-white for optimal legibility.

Accessibility notes

Contrast between the various dark red shades is minimal; ensure critical information uses the highest contrast available.
Text in #800000 on #4A0000 will likely fail accessibility standards; prefer #B22222 for text on darker backgrounds.
For small text or essential UI elements, consider using a very light neutral (e.g., #FFFFFF) to ensure readability.
Avoid using any of the darker reds for text on similarly dark backgrounds without significant size or weight.
