Amore
Also known as: Con Brio, Mad About You, Cherryade, Toasted Truffle
Expect bold and energetic associations from Amore — a medium red well suited to call-to-action buttons and food branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.36:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Amore works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
