Fire, bottled. #e90505 is a loud, fully saturated red that grabs the eye before anything else on the page. Its hex code works best as a small accent, sale badges, buttons, and calls to action, since a full background of it tires the eye fast. White text reads clearly against it at about 4.7:1, enough for WCAG AA body copy. Pair it with deep charcoal or navy to keep the heat in check.
