Scarlet

#cb2f43

Scarlet is a strong crimson-red with a cooler balance than the orange-reds, its Lab values showing high red and modest yellow. Think of a ribbon or a ripe cherry. Dull Viridian Green gives it a classic Christmas contrast, Red Violet deepens it into a regal pairing, and Fawn calms it with a soft, pinkish neutral. White text on Scarlet reaches 5.2:1, so it can carry body text and button labels comfortably. Use it in textiles, signage, lacquered furniture or as a single strong accent in an otherwise pale interior.
