Using a red background
Red is the highest-energy backdrop
Red draws the eye first, which is why sales banners, food brands and holiday campaigns use it. Cream, white and light wood products have the strongest contrast against it.
Scarlet, crimson or brick
Scarlet (around #dc2626) is the classic bold red. Crimson (around #b91c1c) is deeper and reads as premium. Brick or terracotta red (around #b4533c) is warmer and suits ceramics, candles and food.
Avoid red on red
A red product on a red backdrop disappears, and red reflects onto glossy and white items. If the edges look pink, switch to a deeper red, or use a neutral background for the main listing image.
Where red works best
- Sale and promo imagesA red backdrop signals a deal before anyone reads a word. Good for flash sales and holiday drops.
- Food and kitchen productsCream mugs, bowls and packaging look appetizing against a warm red.
- Seasonal campaignsValentine's Day, Lunar New Year and Christmas shots work with a deep red field.
- Event and sports graphicsUse your team or club red by hex code so profile photos and posters match.
More background colors
Pick any shade in the Change Background Color tool, or start from a color below. Marketplace main images usually need pure white, so use the white background tool for those.
Upload the photo, let the tool cut out the subject, then pick a red swatch or use the color picker for an exact shade. Download the result as a JPG.
