Framboise
Also known as: Razzmatazz , Raspberry Yoghurt , Radiant Raspberry , Red-Eye
Framboise sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in call-to-action buttons and food branding. For contrast, pair it with a cyan from its complementary palette below. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (4.73:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Framboise 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.
