Bats Cloak

Also known as: Kurobeni, Kālā Black, Scandinavian Liquorice, Noir Fiction

Bats Cloak is what happens when red turns deep and gentle. The effect is confident and commanding, made for call-to-action buttons and food branding. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (17.82:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Bats Cloak 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: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
  • Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
  • Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
  • Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
