Chocoholic
Also known as: Chocolate Fondue , Citrine Brown , Muddy , Hawaiian Malasada
Chocoholic sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid brown that feels earthy and grounded. Try it in rustic interiors and leather goods. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. On white it reads clearly at 7.43:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Chocoholic works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds. It passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material: coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
