Red Radish
Also known as: Strawberry, Charismatic Red, Poppy Power, Vermilion Cinnabar
Quietly confident and commanding, Red Radish is a warm-toned red that earns its keep in sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Reach for a cyan companion shade to give Red Radish maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (5.19:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Red Radish works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
