Furnace #DD4124 Full codes, palettes, and pairings →The color
Why Furnace works
Furnace is what happens when red turns medium and lively. The effect is confident and commanding, made for food branding and sale banners. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (4.86:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
Palettes
The day's palette
Five colors, engine-built: a mid shade for depth, Furnace itself, two tints for light surfaces, and the complement for accents. Every swatch copies its hex; every name opens that color's page.
