Cameo
Also known as: Shimmering Champagne, Cracked Wheat, Vanilla Custard, Alabaster Gleam
Cameo is what happens when orange turns pale and lively. The effect is playful and vibrant, made for autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Reach for a blue companion shade to give Cameo maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (15.95:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Cameo works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
