Fire Ant
Also known as: Sugar Coated Almond, Camel Fur, Hawaiian Sunset, Crema
Fire Ant is what happens when orange turns rich and vivid. The effect is warm and inviting, made for autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.01:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Fire Ant works
- 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.
- 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.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
