Camel
Also known as: Warm Leather, Ginger Jar, Steampunk Gold, Fallow
Quietly friendly and enthusiastic, Camel is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep in children's products and fitness brands. Reach for a blue companion shade to give Camel maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (8.50:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Camel 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.
