Orange Red, Engineered to Interrupt

Reddit built its identity on this exact hex: #FF4500 is the site's signature upvote color, named Orange Red in the CSS specification long before. The coincidence suits it. This is red pushed toward orange until it reaches maximum urgency, the shade of hazard equipment and notification badges, positioned on the spectrum to interrupt whatever you were doing.

Interruption is a tool. Use Orange Red for the one element on a page that must be seen first, and keep everything around it quiet; two of these accents cancel each other out. As a full background it suits countdowns, sale banners, and posters carrying a single line of type, contexts where overwhelming the viewer is the assignment.

Charcoal and white are the neutral stage that lets a siren color like this do its job, and teal offers the complementary cool that reins it in when the layout needs balance.
