Chalet
Also known as: Mannered Gold , Wobbegong Brown , Taffy , Cardboard
Chalet is a medium, gentle orange that reads as warm and inviting. It earns its place in children's products and fitness brands. 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 (7.98:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Chalet 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: a 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 for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
