Notes
Tomato is the bright, slightly orange-leaning red of a ripe summer tomato. The CSS hex carries high chroma at mid-high lightness and reads as energetic and warm. Food, sports, and outdoor brands use it as a primary or accent colour, typically against deep navy for type contrast or cream for a softer palette. Against white the body text contrast is borderline at small sizes; larger sizes are safest and dark text overlays the clean option on button surfaces. Body text contrast against white passes AA only at sizes 18px and above.
