Red at full volume. #ce3d36 is a saturated, warm red with a soft brick undertone, bold enough to carry calls to action, sale badges, and sports branding. It sits deep enough to feel mellow rather than harsh, though at large sizes it can overwhelm, so treat it as a 10% accent. Pair it with deep teal or navy for contrast, and note that white text passes AA at 4.8:1.
