Champagne
Also known as: Givry , Durian White , Tuscan Bread , Light Blond
On screen, Champagne registers as friendly and enthusiastic: a soft orange at home in children's products and fitness brands. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (14.28:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Champagne works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but 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.
