#AF2E26 Hex Color
Warmth that burns steady, not bright
Strong and fairly saturated, this brick red leans terracotta, warm and grounded rather than fiery. #af2e26 earns its keep as an accent in calls to action, sports branding, and rustic palettes, though it can read muddy across large backgrounds. The hex code pairs well with cream or deep teal for contrast. White text hits about 6.5:1, enough for AA body copy.
