Angry Pasta
Also known as: Capricorn Golden Key , Casandora Yellow , Canary Diamond , Decisive Yellow
Angry Pasta sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid orange that feels friendly and enthusiastic. Try it in children's products and fitness brands. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (14.02:1), but avoid it as text on white.
