Brick red at its most muted. #964b4c carries dusty, terracotta warmth with low saturation, so it calms red’s usual urgency and reads grounded instead of loud. The hex code works best as a supporting tone or accent, paired with sage or cream. It can turn muddy in large blocks, but white text holds strong contrast on it at about 6.2:1, enough for small body text.
