Spinel Red
#f27291
Spinel Red borrows its name from spinel, a gemstone that often occurs in pinkish reds. This one is a hot, cool-leaning pink with high chroma and very little yellow, somewhere near raspberry sorbet. It meets Vandyke Red for a deep, jammy tonal pairing, Naples Yellow for a soft, sunlit warmth, and Turquoise Green for a candy-shop contrast. White text gets just 2.8:1, so reserve it for large display type at most, while black type reads at 7.6:1. It is lovely on silk scarves, confectionery packaging and bold accent walls in otherwise neutral rooms.
