Lifeline
Also known as: French Winery, Cranberry, Petal of a Dying Rose, Bacchic Burgundy
Lifeline brings a passionate and urgent feel to any palette. This rich red is a natural fit for call-to-action buttons and food branding. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. On white it reads clearly at 8.74:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Lifeline 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: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
