Fiji Sands
Also known as: Baked Bread, Cotswold Dill, Thatched Cottage, Glamorgan Sausage
Fiji Sands sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle orange that feels playful and vibrant. Try it in fitness brands and autumn palettes. A blue counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (12.94:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
