Kansas City’s two warm swatches span a deep red and a much lighter amber gold.
Switch the Chiefs swatches to grayscale and the pair still separates. The gold becomes a noticeably lighter gray than the red. That lightness gap is what keeps a gold stripe visible on a red panel even when the warm hues themselves are hard to distinguish.
