Cranberry-leaning, medium-warm orange for sharp UI buttons
About Cranberry Splash
Cranberry Splash sits closer to red than its neighbors, which means it's got cooler undertone and less warmth than Blossoming Dynasty or Berrylicious. It reads more serious, less approachable. This is the one you reach for when you need an accent that actually has some edge to it.
It works on social platforms, e-commerce CTAs, and notification states where you want attention without feeling like you're being too friendly about it. Primary buttons on dark backgrounds. Alert badges that need to feel genuine. Hover states that should register as a real change. The saturation keeps it punchy on white, and it's dark enough that it doesn't flatten your hierarchy the way lighter reds do. It outpunches Berrylicious because it's not trying to be approachable, it's just trying to be noticed.
Pair it with cool grays and it sharpens. On warm or saturated backgrounds it'll fight for attention, so test early if your interface leans orange or peach.
