Garfield
Also known as: Tense Terracotta , Spicy Cinnamon , Warmth , Wine Barrel
On screen, Garfield registers as warm and inviting: a medium orange at home in friendly UI accents and children's products. 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: a 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.
