Not a sharp alarm red, #f48d6e is a mellow shade of red with salmon warmth and mid-level saturation that keeps it friendly instead of furious. It earns its keep as an accent or supporting tone in the 60/30/10 split, especially against deep teal or charcoal where its warmth reads richer. As a background it can wash out next to plain white. Black text on this hex code hits about 8.9:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA for body copy.
