Fire Brick: Named for the Kiln
Kilns and furnaces are lined with refractory blocks called fire bricks, built to endure extreme heat, and their dense, slightly darkened red is what this color names. At #B22222, Fire Brick sits well below Crimson in brightness and carries none of Scarlet's orange flare. It is a red that has already been through the fire: sobered, matte, structural.
That restraint makes it more usable than louder reds. It suits editorial accents, heritage branding, and autumn palettes, and it holds authority on a slide without shouting. Set against warm neutrals it recalls brickwork and mortar; set against charcoal it goes fully industrial. Few reds handle both of those moods this comfortably.

Cornsilk and tan play mortar and sandstone to Fire Brick's masonry, while charcoal pushes the same red toward a harder industrial character.
