Deli Yellow
Also known as: Kogane Gold , Trumpet Gold , Gold Tips , Golden Frame
Deli Yellow sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid orange that feels friendly and enthusiastic. Try it in fitness brands and autumn palettes. Its complement lands in blue territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 11.06:1 on black clears AA.

- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
