Indochine
Also known as: Toffee Crunch, Glazed Ginger, Chestnut Stallion, Hampton Beach
A lively orange with a playful and vibrant character, Indochine works beautifully for friendly UI accents and children's products. A cyan counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.30:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Indochine works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
