Red Panda
Also known as: Tennis Court , Fire Bolt , Sinopia , Vinaceous Tawny
Red Panda is a medium, vivid orange that reads as warm and inviting. It earns its place in friendly UI accents and children's products. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (4.84:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Red Panda 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: 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: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
