FF5A2A

FF5A2A is a hexadecimal color code used in digital color representations. In the RGB color model it corresponds to red 255, green 90, and blue 42, commonly written as #FF5A2A. The color is a vivid orange‑red with approximate HSL values of hue about 15°, saturation 100%, and lightness around 58%, and an HSV/HSB value near 15° 100% 100%. It is typically described as bright and energetic, suitable for accents, buttons, or call-to-action elements in user interfaces.

In web design, FF5A2A is often used to attract attention and convey warmth or urgency. Its strong saturation makes it effective for emphasis but can pose readability challenges when used for body text against light backgrounds. Accessibility considerations include contrast: against white, the color yields a contrast ratio of roughly 3.1:1, which does not meet the 4.5:1 standard for normal text under WCAG 2.1 AA, though it can meet the 3:1 requirement for large text. Designers may pair FF5A2A with dark text or use it within controlled backgrounds to ensure sufficient legibility.

Compared to nearby bright oranges, FF5A2A sits among other saturated hues such as #FF6A2A and #FF4500, offering similar vibrancy with variations in brightness and saturation. There is no official name associated with this hex code beyond its value; it functions as a precise specification within the sRGB color space used in digital graphics, branding, and user interfaces.
