Honeypot
Also known as: Smiley Face, After Shock, Grilled Cheese, Mellow Drama
Honeypot brings a warm and inviting feel to any palette. This soft orange is a natural fit for fitness brands and autumn palettes. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.69:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Honeypot works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
