#F4426E Hex Color
Loud raspberry red with punch to spare
Not a shy pastel. #f4426e is a loud raspberry red with real punch, the kind of hue that belongs on sale badges, calls to action, and sports branding rather than full-page backgrounds. Black text holds about 5.9:1 contrast against it, clearing WCAG AA for body copy, so it can sit behind small type when needed. Its warmth leans slightly pink, which keeps it energetic without tipping into alarm. Pair it with charcoal for weight or soft cream to let it breathe.
