Not a bright scarlet or an alarm red. The hex code #bc7e7c is a dusty, ashy red, its warmth mellowed by gray undertones. It flatters deep teal and charcoal and works as a soft supporting background, where black text holds about 6.4:1 contrast, enough for small body copy. Spread across large areas it can read slightly muddy, so balance it with darker anchors.
