Fusilli
Also known as: Seaside Sand , Platinum Blonde , Rice Bowl , Antique Marble
As a pale take on orange, Fusilli carries warm and inviting energy that suits friendly UI accents and children's products. Reach for a blue companion shade to give Fusilli maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (17.25:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Fusilli 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. It turns warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
