Why it works and how to use it

Crimson & Cranberry Muse is a vivid analogous color palette tagged warm, vibrant, red. Analogous neighbors on the wheel (Cranberry, Crimson, Tan) give it a natural, low-tension flow. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. The overall temperature is warm.

It works because the lightness range is wide (32% to 93%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.

Background: Linen (#F6EFE3) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
Text: Cranberry (#A10034) on #F6EFE3 gives 7.16:1, passing WCAG AAA.
Primary: Crimson (#D12051) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (4.55:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
Accent: Tan (#D4B990) for highlights, badges and hover states.

2 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Cranberry on Linen at 7.16:1.
