Ebi Brown
Also known as: Red Hot Jazz , Brass Scorpion , Capsicum Red , Smoked Paprika
As a rich take on brown, Ebi Brown carries warm and rustic energy that suits leather goods and autumn design. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. On white it reads clearly at 8.49:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Ebi Brown 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: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
