Bats Cloak
Also known as: Kurobeni , Kālā Black , Scandinavian Liquorice , Noir Fiction
As a deep take on red, Bats Cloak carries confident and commanding energy that suits 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, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
