Redsurrection
Also known as: Orko , Stoplight , Passion for Revenge , Red Knuckles
Few reds feel this vivid. Redsurrection leans warm and confident and commanding, which points it toward 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 (5.25:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Redsurrection 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.
