Red at full blast. #fd0000 is a saturated, beaming red that grabs attention instantly, which is why sale badges, alerts, and emergency signage lean on it. It overwhelms as a full background, so spend it as a small accent in a 60/30/10 layout. Black text holds up on it too, with about 5.2:1 contrast, enough to pass AA for body copy. The hex code reads just shy of pure #ff0000.
