Hex color #d60000 graphic
Red as a fresh coat of fire-truck paint, #d60000 is loud, saturated, and built to stop people mid-scroll. White text clears AA against it at about 5.4:1, so buttons and sale badges stay readable. As a full background it overwhelms fast; spend it on small accents and calls to action instead, and let deep navy or charcoal carry the rest of the palette.
