Orangina
Also known as: Kazakhstan Yellow, Sunflower, Cheerful Yellow, Mikado Yellow
Part of the yellow family, Orangina pairs a medium base with a sunny and uplifting presence — ideal for highlights and warnings and cheerful branding. Set it against a blue accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.30:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Orangina works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
