Titian Red
Also known as: Taisha Brown, Roland-Garros, Fallen Canopy, Grieving Daylily
A lively orange with a playful and vibrant character, Titian Red works beautifully for children's products and fitness brands. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. On white it reads clearly at 4.65:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Titian Red 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: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
