Red Instagram highlight covers: what to know
This page starts the instagram highlight cover maker for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the instagram highlight cover maker.
Why letters work on red
Most emoji have red or orange in them, so they disappear on a red background. White letters and symbols don't: they keep high contrast on a deep red like #c8102e. Use them for shop highlights such as New, Sale and Reviews, where a word says more than a picture.
Brighter reds such as #ff3b30 look lively but give white text less contrast. If you go brighter, make the icons larger.
Matching your brand red
If your logo uses a specific red, put its hex code in the background colour. Every cover in the set takes it, so the row of circles matches your other posts.
Questions
What symbols suit red highlight covers?
White symbols and short words: ★ for reviews, % for sales, NEW for new arrivals, ♡ for favourites.
Can I add red emoji on a red background?
You can, but they'll blend in. Use a white or cream background for red emoji, or keep the red background and use white letters.
