Curry
Also known as: Mustard Musketeers, Golden Grass, Glitzy Gold, Yellow Jasper
As a medium take on orange, Curry carries warm and inviting energy that suits fitness brands and autumn palettes. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (9.14:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Curry 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.
