Escargot
Also known as: Malibu Sun, Ivory Invitation, Biogenic Sand, Blank Canvas
A vivid orange with a friendly and enthusiastic character, Escargot works beautifully for friendly UI accents and children's products. Match it with white accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (18.83:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Escargot works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings — warmer under evening light.
- 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.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
