Jambalaya
Also known as: Mellow Apricot, Rosy Skin, Nouveau-Riche, Durazno Maduro
Quietly warm and inviting, Jambalaya is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep 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 (11.81:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Jambalaya works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
