Cork Wood
Also known as: Striking Orange, Rhumba Orange, Brown Sugar Glaze, Garnet Sand
Part of the orange family, Cork Wood pairs a medium base with a friendly and enthusiastic presence — ideal for friendly UI accents and children's products. Its complement lands in cyan territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (6.29:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Cork Wood works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
