#BC3B21 Hex Color
Fired Brick, Full of Warmth
Sale banners, call-to-action buttons, and sports branding are where #bc3b21 earns its keep. This brick red is saturated but earthy, carrying terracotta warmth that keeps it bold without turning neon. White text passes WCAG AA against it at about 5.5:1 contrast, so small body text holds up. Across a full layout it can feel heavy; as a confident accent it shines.
