Cardinal is a vivid, slightly dark red named after the bird. It's rich and eye-catching, with just enough depth to feel sophisticated.
Named after the Northern Cardinal bird and the red robes worn by Catholic cardinals. The color represents importance and spiritual authority in the Catholic Church.
Cardinal red is popular for sports teams, religious organizations, and educational institutions. It's bold enough for logos but refined enough for formal settings. Works well with gold and white.
