Camellia

Camellia (#CF4A6B) is a true red with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (345°, 58%, 55%) 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The rose-pink of Camellia japonica, cultivated in China since the Tang dynasty and sacred in Shinto. The plant's leaves — Camellia sinensis — give us tea.
