Bright cherry red for primary UI accents
About Cherry Berry
Cherry Berry reads as red that's found its warmth without losing depth. It's darker and more saturated than Cinnapink, which means it lands with actual weight instead of fading into the background. Where Cherry on Top feels like precision and restraint, this one's got a fuller pulse, it's the shade that works harder because it's got room to breathe.
Use it in healthcare dashboards, fintech alerts, and error states where you need red that feels present and serious without tipping into panic. It holds at small scale, reads fast against both cool and neutral backgrounds, and doesn't shift the way the lighter reds sometimes do under less-than-perfect lighting. It's warmer in the undertone than Candied Apple but still grounded enough that it won't drift mauve or peachy on you.
The real difference: this sits between brightness and darkness, which makes it work across different scales and contexts without needing as much babying. Test it against your primary neutrals early, it's forgiving, but it's not a chameleon.
