Berber
Also known as: Lake Bluff Putty, Ecru Wealth, Bleached Pebble, Lion of Hadrian
Part of the orange family, Berber pairs a soft base with a playful and vibrant presence — ideal for friendly UI accents and children's products. Its complement lands in blue territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.52:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Berber works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
