#D45A5A Hex Color

#d45a5a pairs well with charcoal, warm cream, and muted olive, which soften its saturation while preserving its earthy character. Use charcoal for structure, cream for space, and olive for a restrained rustic palette that avoids a holiday-like red-green contrast.

Black text is the clearest choice on #d45a5a, with about a 5.4:1 contrast ratio that meets WCAG AA for normal body text. Keep white text for large display type or test it carefully, because this medium red lacks sufficient contrast for small white copy.
