#C20505 Hex Color
Full-volume red with real heat
Loud, saturated red with a dark edge. #c20505 sits deep enough that white text clears AA contrast at small sizes, which makes it a strong pick for call-to-action buttons, sale banners, and sports branding. It flatters charcoal and warm cream better than plain white. As a full background it can overwhelm, so treat it as your 10 percent accent.
