Bone
Also known as: Skull, Gentle Lamb, Earthling, Neutral Ground
A gentle orange with a playful and vibrant character, Bone works beautifully for friendly UI accents and children's products. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 14.71:1 on black clears AA.

Where Bone 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.
