#F25C54 Hex Color
A Coral That Glows Without Burning
Far from an alarm red, #f25c54 is a warm coral with a soft, mellow glow. Its saturation is high but its lightness keeps it friendly, and the orange-leaning undertone (the same family as mixing brown) adds warmth. Black text on this hex code reaches about 6.4:1 contrast, enough for AA body copy, so it makes a solid button or call-to-action background.
