Lusty Lips
Also known as: Electrifying Kiss, UA Red, Demon Princess, Virtual Pink
Lusty Lips is a medium, vivid red that reads as passionate and urgent. It shines in call-to-action buttons and food branding. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. On white it reads clearly at 5.17:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Lusty Lips 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: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
