Mothy
Also known as: Osprey Nest, Smokey Pink, Summer Bloom, Desert Morning
A gentle orange with a friendly and enthusiastic character, Mothy works beautifully for fitness brands and autumn palettes. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.38:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Mothy works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
