#ED5E36 Hex Color

#ed5e36 pairs well with charcoal, warm cream, and navy, which soften its intensity; pale blue-green or muted sage can add cooler contrast without competing with the red-orange accent in layouts and interfaces.

#ed5e36 provides about a 6.3:1 contrast ratio with black, meeting WCAG AA for normal body text; white text is about 3.3:1, so it does not meet AA for normal-sized text.

#ed5e36 reads as a warm red-orange because its red component dominates its blue component, while high saturation keeps it vivid; its slightly softened finish makes it less harsh than a pure, high-energy orange.
