Coconut
Also known as: Spiced Cider, Etruscan, Rookwood Terra Cotta, Chōjicha Brown
A gentle brown with a warm and rustic character, Coconut works beautifully for autumn design and coffee and food branding. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.48:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Coconut 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: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
