Deep crimson, burnt sienna, dark orange-red, and near-black — the colours of heat, pressure, and barely contained force.
Anger colours are not the bright red of warning signs — they are darker, more pressurised, more interior. The deep crimson of blood under pressure. The burnt sienna of fire that has been burning a long time. The near-black of scorch marks. Anger as an emotion is not a flash but a heat that builds — and these colours carry that sense of accumulation, of something building toward a point. In design, they are not used carelessly; they have an immediate visceral charge that demands to be earned. Used well, they communicate urgency, seriousness, and the stakes of something that genuinely matters.
