saffronred

Saffronred is a color name used in design and art to denote a warm reddish-orange shade inspired by the saffron spice. The term derives from saffron, the spice obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, whose reddish-orange hue informs the color’s connotation.

There is no single universal standard for saffronred; appearances vary by color system and manufacturer. In general, it sits in the orange-red region with a high level of saturation, leaning toward red rather than yellow. The exact hex or RGB values differ among palettes, so a given reference may render saffronred somewhat differently.

Uses of saffronred appear across branding, fashion, interior design, and visual art. The color is often chosen to convey warmth, vitality, luxury, and a sense of spice or exoticism. It pairs well with neutral tones such as cream or beige and with metallics like gold, as well as with deep blues or greens that provide contrast.

Cultural associations with saffron-related colors vary by region. In some traditions saffron hues are linked to spirituality, hospitality, or royalty, which can influence how saffronred is perceived in visual contexts. As with many color names that describe a real-world reference, practitioners should specify exact color values when precision is required for print or digital media.
