Mulberry: cooler, mid-dark magenta red for contrast
About Mulberry
Mulberry looks like someone let a red velvet tag age a little. It's unmistakably red, but it sits between headline urgency and quiet authority, not as dark as Aristocratic Velvet and not as heat-forward as Berry or Cranberry.
What you'll notice in practice is the undertone: a touch of coolness keeps it from turning candy-pink, while the value stays mid-deep enough to feel anchored on real UI surfaces. I use it for dashboards and finance apps that need destructive actions, important warnings, or tier states that feel settled rather than aggressive. It also holds up in healthcare consent flows and security admin panels where the alert should read serious without drifting toward the harsher "stop now" energy of Berry or the more deliberate warmth of Cranberry.
Pair Mulberry with neutral backgrounds that are neither warm nor steely, and give it space. Tight grids can make it feel heavier than you intended, especially beside brighter reds.
