Description
#CD6F5C is a clear, mid-tone red leaning toward orange. It is warm in temperature. It brings to mind ripe strawberries and poppies.
Psychology
Red tends to raise the energy of everything around it. It draws the eye first and is often felt as excitement, urgency and warmth. At this middle strength it feels balanced, neither shy nor loud.
Meaning
Red stands for passion, love and courage, and also for danger and warning. In China and much of East Asia it is the color of luck and celebration.
