Butterum
Also known as: Shiracha Brown, Eastlake Gold, Santa Fe Sunrise, Orange Pekoe
A lively orange with a playful and vibrant character, Butterum works beautifully for autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.52:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Butterum works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
