#ec0003 - Alarm color

A vivid, uncompromising red with an almost neon intensity and a faint orange undertone. It reads as energetic, urgent and commanding attention, evoking passion, heat, and warning. Extremely saturated and bright, it works well for call-to-action buttons, alerts, or accents that must stand out against neutral backgrounds. Avoid large expanses, as it can overpower designs and cause visual fatigue; pair with crisp whites, deep charcoals, or muted neutrals to balance its fiery boldness and maintain legibility and sophistication.
