Colour

Red is a signal.

Two locked brand colours — #F05C49 and #000000 — a warm neutral scale that lets them breathe, and three UI-only colours. Pairings are judged on accessibility and on visual quality: off-white on red is the preferred display pairing; black on red is kept for small, functional text.

Guideline

From guidelines/02-colour.md

Principle

Red is a signal; off-white is its partner.

Rule

Brand red #F05C49 and black #000000 never change. Display type on red: off-white preferred (white or black allowed). Body text on red: black only, short (≤ 25 words); never white/off-white body on red. Red text only at display size on off-white/white; red on black preferred for numerals. Red ≤ 10% of a surface except field/red modes (≤ 60% field; full red max 1 post in 6).

When to use

Every surface.

When not to use

—

Do
  • Use the pairing matrix (03) at real sizes
  • Keep one red event per surface
Don’t
  • “Text on red is always black” — replaced by the matrix
  • Tints of red as brand colours
  • Mixed red/black words in one headline
