Red Ribbon
Also known as: Cherry Tomato, Pickled Radish, Fresh Cut, Neon Romance
Red Ribbon brings a bold and energetic feel to any palette. This medium red is a natural fit for food branding and sale banners. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (4.72:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Red Ribbon 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 — 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.
