Basic Information

  • Earth Elements 1997 to 2010

Ruby Red is a deep, rich deep red with a rich, traditional feel. It suggests rubies, jewels and roses, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as cherry red, cranberry, burgundy or wine red, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Ruby Red is a rich red with a subtle blue-red influence. It sits near the red area, giving it a warm presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 2° gives it its blue-red character, its saturation of about 52% makes it feel rich rather than flat, and its value of about 74% gives it a medium-light, usable weight.
