Titian

#b94e48

Notes

Titian (#B94E48) is a true red with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (3°, 45%, 50%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary cyan. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The warm copper-red Tiziano Vecellio painted onto the hair of his Venetian goddesses. Sixteenth-century women bleached their hair and sat on rooftops to achieve the same effect.
