#BD033B Hex Color
A raspberry red that means business
#bd033b is a saturated raspberry red with real punch. It sits close to crimson, bold enough to carry a button or banner without help. Because it is dark and vivid at once, white text stays readable on it (contrast around 6.5:1, comfortably past WCAG AA). It works best as an accent or call-to-action color rather than a full background, where it can overwhelm softer palettes. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy for depth, or cool it down with pale neutrals.
