Red Reign
Also known as: Laura Potato, Maroon, Salami, Proton Red
Part of the red family, Red Reign pairs a rich base with a bold and energetic presence — ideal for call-to-action buttons and food branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. On white it reads clearly at 10.76:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Red Reign 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 — 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 — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
