F10F19

F10F19 is a hexadecimal color code commonly used in digital color representation to specify a particular shade of red. In standard hex notation, the code is written as #F10F19 and encodes RGB values of 241 for red, 15 for green, and 25 for blue. Because red is dominant, the resulting color appears as a vivid, saturated red with a slight pinkish tint. This shade is not among CSS named colors, so designers typically refer to it by its hex code or its RGB values (rgb(241, 15, 25)) when communicating color choices.

In practice, #F10F19 is used in web and graphic design for elements requiring strong emphasis, such as alerts, calls to action, or branding accents. Its high red content can affect readability, so contrast with text should be checked against accessibility guidelines.

Origins and technical context: Hex color codes originated with early web standards and are defined as three two-digit hexadecimal values representing red, green, and blue in the sRGB color space. Each component ranges from 00 to FF, allowing 16,777,216 distinct colors. The code F10F19 uses a high red value with low green and blue, placing it in the red region of the spectrum.

Variations and display considerations: On different displays, the exact appearance can vary due to gamma correction and monitor calibration; however, it remains a bright red shade close to crimson depending on context.
