Hotspot
Also known as: Red Orange , Redshift , Ogre Odour , Orange Dusk
Few reds feel this vivid. Hotspot leans warm and bold and energetic, which points it toward call-to-action buttons and food branding. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (6.13:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Hotspot works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
