Panela
Also known as: Ancient Chest, Hawaiian Coconut, Rusty, Ancient Bronze
Quietly playful and vibrant, Panela is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep in children's products and fitness brands. Match it with cyan accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.79:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Panela works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- 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.
