Igniting
Also known as: White Corn, Phoenix Fossil, Instant Noodles, Splash
Igniting sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid orange that feels friendly and enthusiastic. Try it in fitness brands and autumn palettes. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.93:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Igniting 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: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
