Hex color #f72b62 graphic
Not quite pink and not a plain red, #f72b62 is a loud, saturated reddish shade that lands between the two. That intensity makes the hex code a strong pick for calls to action and sale banners, though it overwhelms as a full background, so treat it as an accent. Black text reads clearly against it at about 5.5:1 contrast, enough for small body text under WCAG AA.
