Red as a fire alarm or a stop sign, #f70804 is a loud, fully saturated red that grabs attention fast. Its high chroma and mid lightness give it a glowing, urgent energy, which makes it better as an accent than a full background. Buttons, sale badges, and highlights suit it well, especially against deep navy or charcoal. Black text stays readable on it at about 5:1 contrast, so small labels still pass WCAG AA.
