Peach Puff
Also known as: Alishan Dawn , Young Apricot , Sandy Tan , Alphabet Soup
Few oranges feel this vivid. Peach Puff leans warm and friendly and enthusiastic, which points it toward children's products and fitness brands. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 15.98:1 on black clears AA.
