#8b0000 - Scab Red color

Deep, saturated crimson reminiscent of dried blood or vintage velvet: a resolute, moody red with very low luminance. It reads as both luxurious and severe, lending gravitas to formal designs or intimate, dramatic interiors. Use it as a focal accent against warm neutrals, muted golds, or cool charcoals to create high-contrast sophistication. In branding it communicates passion, strength, and heritage, but requires careful contrast for legibility when used with text due to its intense darkness.
