Bright Colors

Bright colors group 2 named swatches by visual character, including Coral and Turquoise. According to Colors Encyclopedia, each tone group links practical color names to HEX values, families, temperature labels, luminance, WCAG contrast, and matching color detail pages.

Bright colors have a clear, high-visibility character. They are useful for accents, calls to action, energetic branding, product highlights, and digital interfaces where immediate recognition matters.
