Gazelle
Also known as: Lover’s Leap, Weathered Shingle, Sofisticata, Chocolate Moment
Gazelle sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle brown that feels warm and rustic. Try it 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, empty-state illustrations — 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.
