Lion
Also known as: Cheers!, Donegal Tweed, Edgy Green, Mojave Gold
Lion is what happens when orange turns medium and gentle. The effect is warm and inviting, made for friendly UI accents and children's products. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 8.07:1 on black clears AA.

Where Lion 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
