#ED3E62 Hex Color

Not a soft pastel and not a pure primary red, #ed3e62 lands in between: a loud, saturated red with a pinkish undertone. Its high saturation and mid lightness give it real punch, which is why it works best as a small accent in a 60/30/10 palette rather than a full background, where it can overwhelm. Deep teal or charcoal flatter it more than white does, and black text passes AA contrast on it at about 5.5:1.
