Jazz
Also known as: Chocolate Truffle, Christmas Brown, Kuwazome Red, Dubonnet
A gentle red with a bold and energetic character, Jazz works beautifully for sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (11.12:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Jazz 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 — 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.
