Frequently Asked Questions
Does #5a3532 provide good contrast with white text?
Yes, #5a3532 provides strong contrast with white text at about 10.6:1, exceeding the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for body text and making it suitable for dark backgrounds with small white copy. Pale warm neutrals can also work, but test each text color.
What colors pair well with Arresting Auburn?
Arresting Auburn pairs well with sage, muted teal, and warm ivory because its brown-red base gains lift from green-blue contrast while pale neutrals keep the palette readable and controlled. Use muted teal for a restrained complementary accent rather than an equal-weight pairing.
