Flareon is one of the most recognizable faces in the Pokémon franchise, which began with the original Game Boy titles in 1996 and became a global animation phenomenon. The anime solidified Flareon's palette for generations of fans.

The specific body fur color — #ec7461 — is moderately saturated and bright and airy. It's a warm red-orange that sits precisely at 8° on the color wheel, calibrated to read clearly against both light and dark backgrounds in fast-moving battle scenes.

Fans who grew up watching the show tend to remember the character's overall color family correctly, but the exact saturation and brightness often slip. Most people overshoot the saturation by 10–15%, a quirk of memory that makes Flareon one of the more revealing tests in the game.

Calibrated to this character's specific hex, not generic color advice.

1Hue: Lock in around 8° — squarely in the orange-red range (0°–30°). Don't drift more than 10° from the target.

2Saturation: Target 59%. This is moderate saturation. Going too intense (above 80%) makes it look artificial; going too gray (below 25%) loses the character's identity.

3Keep brightness high — above 80%. This is a light, airy color; going below 70% brightness will push it into a muddy or completely different shade.

4Common mistake: Players tend to push brightness to 100% thinking "lighter = closer." But the real color has intentional headroom — leave 10–15% of brightness on the table.
