I understand your preference for a more vibrant red theme with less emphasis on black and white. Here’s a revised palette that maintains a grey-black background but incorporates more red shades for the text and accents, creating a more uplifting and energetic atmosphere.

In this palette, I’ve chosen vibrant reds for the text and accents to create an uplifting atmosphere while maintaining a darker grey background. The use of reds throughout should help brighten the overall look without relying on white.
