Red Robin
Also known as: Red Pepper, Country Sleigh, Spiced Apple, Bole
A gentle red with a bold and energetic character, Red Robin works beautifully for sale banners and sportswear. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (7.82:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Red Robin works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
