Hex color #bf6860 graphic
#bf6860 is a dusty, muted red with terracotta leanings. Its low saturation and matte finish keep it grounded, so it works best as a supporting tone or accent rather than the star of a palette. It flatters deep teal and olive better than obvious warm neutrals. Black text reads clearly on this hex code at about 5.4:1 contrast, enough for small body copy.
