ColorPairLabTomato hex and RGB values
The CSS keyword tomato gives you #FF6347, or rgb(255, 99, 71).
Tomato is a warm red-orange that can pick out a notification or accent. Use the exact CSS value when you need this shade rather than a loosely named brand red.

Try tomato in a layout
The CSS sample below uses black text on #FF6347. Preview a 16 px label and a 24 px heading to compare normal and large text. Swap the colors to try tomato as the text color; the ratio stays the same.
.sample {
background: #FF6347;
color: #000000;
}Copy the exact color
Use the converter to copy HEX, RGB or HSL. If you edit in HSL, the final value is rounded to eight-bit sRGB so the preview and exported color agree. For text over an image, gradient or translucent layer, check the finished design separately.
