Garfield
Also known as: Tense Terracotta, Spicy Cinnamon, Warmth, Wine Barrel
Quietly friendly and enthusiastic, Garfield is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep in autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Set it against a cyan accent when you want the combination to pop. On white it reads clearly at 5.33:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Garfield works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
