Arcane Red
Also known as: Spring Lobster Brown, Dried Plum, Devil’s Lip, Kenyan Copper
Arcane Red sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle red that feels bold and energetic. Try it in sale banners and sportswear. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. On white it reads clearly at 10.19:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.
