Where Indian Red sits between brick and rose

Softer than brick, rosier than terracotta, Indian Red occupies an unusual middle ground among the warm reds. The hex #CD5C5C is perfectly balanced between its green and blue channels, which mutes the fire and leaves something closer to faded barn paint. The name comes from the X11 palette, where it has sat since the early days of the web.

That muted quality is its advantage. Full-strength reds exhaust the eye as backgrounds; Indian Red does not. It works behind product shots of wood and brass, in editorial layouts that want warmth without alarm, and as an accent wall color in rooms with plenty of natural light.
