Hex color #d43b15 graphic
Not a fire-engine red, #d43b15 leans toward burnt orange, giving it a rusted, earthy heat. The hex code is saturated and strong, loud enough for calls to action and sale badges without neon glare. White text on it reaches about 4.7:1 contrast, so it passes WCAG AA for small body text. It works best as an accent or highlight, since a full background can overwhelm.
