#BB3C1C Hex Color

White text reads clearly on #bb3c1c with a contrast ratio of about 5.6:1, which passes WCAG AA for body text. Black text falls short of that threshold, so keep dark type off this background.

#bb3c1c flatters teal and warm cream, which balance its heat and saturation. Add softened sage when you want the red to feel rustic instead of fiery.
