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.

Where Strawberry 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.
