Red

Red (#EE204D) is the Crayola crayon standard red, slightly warmer and more vivid than pure screen red, skewed toward a lively rose-red that prints well and reads vibrantly on paper. Crayola red has been one of the original eight crayon colours since 1903, making it one of the most widely used art colours in history across generations of schoolchildren. The slight warm cast keeps it joyful and approachable rather than alarming.

Pure red is the color of adrenaline, passion, and urgency. It raises heart rate and stimulates appetite, which is why fast-food chains and sale banners rely on it worldwide. Culturally, red signifies luck and prosperity in East Asia while representing danger and prohibition in Western road signage.

Medium red is ideal for call-to-action buttons, sale badges, and notification dots where instant attention is needed. It should be used sparingly as an accent rather than a dominant background to avoid visual fatigue. Red pairs effectively with white text for maximum legibility in buttons and banners.
