Countryside
Also known as: Jīn Sè Gold , Fistfull of Green , Honey and Thyme , Venom
A vivid yellow with a bright and alert character, Countryside works well for cheerful branding and kids' apps. Reach for a blue companion shade to give Countryside maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.89:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Countryside 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.
