#B7180C Hex Color

#b7180c provides about a 6.7:1 contrast ratio with white, so it passes the 4.5:1 WCAG AA threshold for normal body text and supports readable labels, buttons, and interface copy. White is the clearest text choice.

#b7180c pairs well with charcoal, warm cream, and muted sage because these softer tones temper its high saturation, add breathing room, and let the red carry attention without making the overall palette feel harsh or overly loud. Use them for supporting surfaces and accents.
