#FC0050 Hex Color
Red turned up loud
Reach for #fc0050 when a sale badge or call-to-action button has to shout. The hex code sits between red and hot pink at full saturation, so it beams on screens but overwhelms as a full background. Treat it as a small accent, maybe ten percent of a layout, and pair it with deep navy to cool the heat. Black text on it hits about 5.3:1 contrast, which passes WCAG AA for body copy.
