Suggested color roles

primary

A strong, classic red (#C82A2A) that commands attention and evokes excitement and urgency. Ideal for critical calls to action or prominent headlines.

secondary

A clean, vibrant blue (#0081C4) that offers a stable and trustworthy counterpoint, suitable for secondary information or navigation.

accent

An energetic orange (#E66B00) that provides a warm, inviting pop, perfect for small, impactful details or interactive elements.

background

A clean, bright near-white (e.g., #F8F8F8) background is essential to let these saturated primary colors truly stand out without competing.

text

A dark charcoal (e.g., #333333) provides excellent readability on the lighter backgrounds. White text is highly recommended for use on #C82A2A, #0081C4, and #63AC41 for optimal contrast.

Accessibility notes

  • These are strong, saturated colors; use them with care for text. White text on #C82A2A, #0081C4, and #63AC41 will provide good contrast.
  • #FFC600 and #E66B00 are generally too light for small text on white backgrounds; reserve them for larger headings or graphical elements.
  • Ensure all interactive elements have clear visual states and sufficient contrast.
  • Always test contrast ratios for text and key interface elements to meet WCAG AA standards.
