Strawberry
Also known as: Red Flag , Future Fuchsia , Medium Scarlet , Là Jiāo Hóng Red
Strawberry sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid red that feels confident and commanding. Try it in sportswear and call-to-action buttons. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (5.50:1), but avoid it as text on white.
