Red Color Palettes

Red palettes are built around the most assertive color in the library, and the successful ones give it room. In most of the sets below, red occupies one or two roles and the rest of the palette is neutral or warm, because a red with no quiet around it stops functioning as an accent. The family reaches from an almost-pink coral through brick and oxblood to a near-black claret, and the palette changes character with each.

These are the palettes whose recorded colors include red, ordered by Visual Intelligence Index score and then by saves. Each opens onto a page showing all six colors in role order, with contrast readings and ready-to-copy code.

The palettes here vary mostly in how much room they give red. The calmest ones keep it to a single accent against a warm neutral base; the most direct use it as the anchor with a dark support and almost nothing else. Opening any of them shows the roles, so it is easy to see whether the red is carrying the identity or merely punctuating it before you take the set further.
