Bloodsport
Also known as: Planet Fever, Unmatched Beauty, Lusty Red, Opening Ribbon
Bloodsport is what happens when red turns medium and lively. The effect is passionate and urgent, made for food branding and sale banners. Bloodsport plays well with cyan tones — the harmonies below show exactly which ones. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.12:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Bloodsport 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.
