Bullseye

Deep, high-saturation bullseye red for sharp alerts
About Bullseye
Bullseye sits between Bloody Mary's committed darkness and Brick by Brick's approachable warmth, but it's got its own thing happening. It's bright enough to feel urgent without reading as a warning. The red cuts through without the orange glow that can date its cousins, but there's still enough warmth in the undertone that it doesn't pull cold or institutional. It lands harder than Akai Red, cleaner than Brick by Brick.
Reach for it in alerts, call-to-action buttons, and editorial moments where you need red that actually stops people. Product interfaces, insurance dashboards, emergency notifications, places where you can't afford subtlety but you also can't afford to look cheap. It holds solid on white, doesn't flatten on light grays the way Brick by Brick can, and it doesn't need the dark context that Bloody Mary demands to feel intentional.
The thing to watch: it shifts slightly warmer on cream or beige, so pair it with cooler neutrals, blacks, or blues if you want the red to stay sharp. Against deep charcoal it settles exactly where you mean it.
