Liaison

Muted liaison red for notes between wine and cherry
About Liaison
Liaison is the kind of red that shows up in a medical room sign or a bank transfer banner and just holds steady. It's not the deep, weighty chew of Cherry Berry, and it doesn't feel like Flirt's quick, warmer midtone. Instead, Liaison lands in a more restrained lane: richer than the brighter UI reds, but cooler and more composed than the pink-leaning ones.
For healthcare dashboards, it reads as serious attention without tipping into panic. In fintech alerts and account status panels, it works as a confident error tone that stays legible against cool and neutral surfaces. It's also my pick for destructive confirmations where you want the one you reach for that feels deliberate, not frantic.
Pair it with charcoal text and muted grays; too much rosy accent nearby can make it drift toward mauve on small icons. Keep secondary states separate with a warmer or darker neighbor so Liaison stays the clear "pay attention" signal.
