Fatback
Also known as: Satin Purse, Placebo Orange, Dipped in Cream, Apricot Ice
As a pale take on white, Fatback carries clean and minimal energy that suits medical branding and spacious layouts. A white counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (19.78:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Fatback works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: As a brand anchor it reads established and tactile; pair with a single vivid accent for energy.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
