What the Databricks Logo Colors Mean?
The Databricks logo colors sit on a stack of bricks, which is the name drawn out. The mark is built from angled blocks arranged in layers, and the layering is the point: the company's argument is the lakehouse, one store that does the job of a data warehouse and a data lake at once. Red rather than blue puts it next to Oracle rather than next to Snowflake, which is the comparison it wants.

Brand colors are chosen for recognition, not for legibility. A failing value here is normal. It means use it as a fill, not as text.
