Fat Smooch
Also known as: Cockscomb Red, Tutti Frutti, Shattan Gold, Middle Safflower
Fat Smooch is what happens when red turns medium and lively. The effect is passionate and urgent, made for call-to-action buttons and food branding. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (4.80:1), but avoid it as text on white.

- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
