#eb7766 is a saturated, warm reddish coral that commands immediate attention without the aggression of pure fire engine red. This tone works best as a punchy accent color rather than a large background, which can quickly overwhelm a UI. Pair it with deep charcoal grays to create high-contrast, accessible designs. Because black text maintains a strong 7.4:1 contrast ratio against it, it is safe for legible button labels.
