Her Velour
Also known as: Energy Peak, Strawberry Rhubarb, Faded Rose, Terra Rosa
Quietly passionate and urgent, Her Velour is a warm-toned red that earns its keep in sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (4.93:1), but avoid it as text on white.

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