#e84560 is a punchy red with a soft rose undertone, loud enough to pull the eye but mellow enough to live with. It earns its keep as a small accent: buttons, badges, sale tags, alerts. Pair it with deep teal for a contrast that feels less obvious than red and white. Black text sits at about 5.5:1 on it, so it clears WCAG AA behind body copy.
