Lumberjack
Also known as: Tandoori Spice, Queen’s Coat, Autumn Ridge, Red My Mind
Lumberjack sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle red that feels bold and energetic. Try it in sale banners and sportswear. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.24:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Lumberjack 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.
