#EF5156 Hex Color

#ef5156 looks sharpest beside cool, dark tones like charcoal or deep teal, which balance its heat. Soft cream gives it a friendlier, retro feel. Skip orange and pink neighbors, since they blur into each other.

Black text on #ef5156 reaches about 6.0:1 contrast, which passes WCAG AA for body copy. White text falls short, so keep the red behind dark type or use it for large graphics and accents.
