Burned
Also known as: Mathematical Rage, Baragon Brown, Lonely Chocolate, Umbral Umber
Part of the red family, Burned pairs a deep base with a passionate and urgent presence — ideal for call-to-action buttons and food branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (14.93:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Burned 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: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
