Hex color #eb6c55 graphic
#eb6c55 is a bold, warm red with strong coral and orange undertones. Fairly saturated but mellow in weight, it reads friendly rather than fierce, closer to what colors make orange than to crimson. Use it as a 10% accent for buttons, highlights, and sales banners, since it can wash out next to plain white. It pairs well with deep navy, and black text stays readable on top at roughly 6.8:1 contrast, enough for WCAG AA body text.
