Red Currant
Red Currant draws from the precise, jewel-toned reds of currant berries in their peak season — colors that sit at the point where red begins to deepen toward burgundy without losing their brightness. The palette starts with near-black Currant (the color of deeply ripe berries clustered in shadow), moves through the wine-rich Berry and vivid Raspberry, and softens into warm Warm Pink and delicate Pale Blush.
What distinguishes this palette from other red ranges is its blue-red character — these are reds that lean slightly toward magenta and purple rather than orange, giving them a jewel-tone quality that reads as precious and sophisticated. Raspberry (#C42056) in particular is a highly sought-after design color that appears in luxury fashion, premium cosmetics, and high-end food packaging year after year.

Red Currant is a strong choice for jams, preserves, and artisan food brands where a direct connection to berry color creates immediate recognition. It also works beautifully in fashion editorial contexts, particularly for autumn and winter looks where the deep currant tones evoke seasonality without leaning into the more clichéd orange-red of traditional fall palettes.
The pale end of the palette — Warm Pink and Pale Blush — gives the range a softness that makes it accessible for bridal, lifestyle, and wellness brands that want the depth and richness of red-adjacent tones without fully committing to a bold red identity. These lighter tones are background-friendly and pair naturally with cream, ivory, and warm white neutrals.
