Molten Lava is a warm and bold 2-colour linear gradient that runs from red (#FF0000) to orange (#FF6B00) at 135°. It suits hero sections and call-to-action buttons and banners and attention-grabbing headers. Black text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 5.8:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
