Lonestar

#522426

Also known as: Kuwazome Red , Lees , Volcano , Burnt Crimson

On screen, Lonestar registers as bold and energetic: a rich red at home in call-to-action buttons and food branding. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (12.81:1, passes WCAG AA).

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