#CC2336 Hex Color

Deep teals, forest greens, and warm creams all balance #cc2336 without dulling its intensity. For text on top, white reads clearly at about 5.4:1 contrast, which meets AA for body copy. Try it against charcoal when you want a darker, moodier pairing.

It reads warm, but a touch of blue in its makeup gives it a raspberry edge that keeps it from tipping into orange. That slight coolness makes it feel richer than a pure fire-engine red, especially next to neutrals.
