Crimson feels closer to velvet than plastic. It has depth, but the red still reaches the eye quickly enough for a score, badge, or headline.
Its code is #DC143C, built from RGB 220, 20, and 60.
That blue contribution is small, yet it is what pulls the hue toward ruby.
Try cream instead of pure white when the page should feel warm. Navy makes the red formal; sage makes it earthy; charcoal gives it the blunt force of a newspaper front page.
