#E42313 Hex Color

Saturated Red That Demands Attention

Select a Color

A loud, unapologetic red. #e42313 is heavily saturated with a warm orange undertone, so it reads urgent and energetic rather than deep or moody. White text hits about 4.6:1 contrast here, enough for AA body copy, which makes it a solid pick for buttons and calls to action. At full scale it overwhelms fast, so treat it as a small accent and let navy or charcoal carry the palette.
