Gazelle
Also known as: Lover’s Leap , Weathered Shingle , Sofisticata , Chocolate Moment
Part of the brown family, Gazelle pairs a medium base with a warm and rustic presence. It belongs in leather goods and autumn design. Its complement lands in blue territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 5.44:1 on black clears AA.

Where Gazelle works
- 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.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material: coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- 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.
