Giggle
Also known as: Mǔ Lì Bái Oyster , Monet Moonrise , Morning Glow , Screaming Skull
Giggle brings a bright and alert feel to a palette. This pale yellow suits highlights and warnings and cheerful branding. Its complement lands in white territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (18.07:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Giggle works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
