copperred

Copperred is a color name used in design and color naming to describe a reddish, metallic copper shade. It is not a universally standardized term, but it appears in palettes, branding guides, and paint swatches as a descriptive color.

Origin and use of the term reflect the combination of copper’s metallic associations with a red hue. This blend is chosen to convey warmth, richness, and a vintage or industrial feel, and copperred commonly appears in interior design, fashion, product branding, and user interface accents.

Color characteristics of copperred vary with context, but it is typically a warm hue with copper undertones and a noticeable red bias. In digital color systems, hex values around B87333 to C44A31 are often used to represent copperred-like tones. In RGB these examples correspond to approximately (184, 115, 51) and (196, 74, 49). In HSL, the hue generally falls in the low teens to around twenty degrees, with moderate to high saturation and mid-range lightness, adjusted to achieve the desired lightness or depth.

Applications include evoking warmth, luxury, or a vintage aesthetic in branding, packaging, and interiors. It is also used as an accent color in web and graphic design to highlight elements while pairing well with creams, blacks, and greens.

Variations are common, with copperred-dark or copperred-light labels used to indicate deeper or lighter tones. Designers may adjust saturation or brightness to meet accessibility requirements.
