Why it works and how to use it

Ruby Vermilion & Ballet is a vivid analogous color palette tagged food, warm, red. Analogous neighbors on the wheel (Vermilion, Ballet, Coffee) 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.

The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (98% down to 38% lightness). A natural fit for menus and packaging.

Background: Snow (#FFF9F4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
Text: Coffee (#75574E) on #FFF9F4 gives 6.23:1, passing WCAG AA.
Primary: Ballet (#FFD1DA) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
Accent: Vermilion (#F24452) for highlights, badges and hover states.
