Fox
Also known as: Trinidad , Peanut Butter Jelly , Painted Poppy , Cinnamon Stone
Fox sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a lively red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. On white it reads clearly at 4.52:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Fox works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
