#c64444 is a bold brick red with warm terracotta undertones. Its strong saturation pulls the eye, so it earns its keep as an accent, highlight, or call to action rather than a full background. White text reads clearly on it at about 4.9:1, enough for AA body copy. Pair it with deep navy for a richer, less expected combo.
