Rage
Also known as: Hornet Sting , Tractor Red , Rose Hip , Bright Scarlet
Rage holds a medium position in the red range and reads as bold and energetic. You'll see it used for food branding and sale banners. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.38:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Rage works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a 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 for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
