Cherry

Cherry (#D20A2E) 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 (349°, 91%, 43%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. 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 glossy red of a ripe Bing cherry. Distinct from the pale pink of cherry blossoms and from the near-black of sour Morellos — a mid-tone, warm-saturated red that reads as *the* cherry color.
