Granola
Also known as: Bagel, Ginger Peach, Capricious, Tequila
As a soft take on orange, Granola carries friendly and enthusiastic energy that suits friendly UI accents and children's products. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (14.21:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Granola works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- 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.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
