Picture a ripe tomato split open. That is the territory #e04b43 occupies, a strong red with enough softness in its edges to read warm rather than alarming. The saturation runs high but stops short of neon, so it suits buttons, badges, and other small accents more than full backgrounds, where it can fatigue the eye. Black text clears WCAG AA on it at roughly 5.3:1. Try it against a deep teal for a pairing that pops without clashing.
