Somewhere between scarlet and open flame, #f04014 is a loud red-orange with enough saturation to stop a scroll. That intensity suits calls to action, sale badges, and sports branding, though it works best as an accent since it overwhelms at full-screen scale. Deep teal and charcoal tame its heat without dulling it. Black text passes WCAG AA on this hex code at about 5.4:1 contrast.
