Closer to weathered brick than fire-engine red, #925a5d is a dusty red with warm, ashy undertones. Its low saturation and dark base keep it subdued, so it earns its place as a supporting tone or 30% layer rather than a loud accent. It flatters deep teal and warm cream, and behind white text it holds about 5.5:1 contrast, enough for small body text.
