Lonestar
Also known as: Kuwazome Red, Lees, Volcano, Burnt Crimson
Part of the red family, Lonestar pairs a rich base with a bold and energetic presence — ideal for 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, empty-state illustrations — not text.
