Arcade Fire
Also known as: Rage of Quel’Danas, Thermic Orange, Vermilion, Chilli Crab
Arcade Fire is what happens when red turns medium and vivid. The effect is bold and energetic, made for food branding and sale banners. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 5.12:1 on black clears AA.
