Peach
Also known as: Sassy Peach , Cantaloupe Slice , Orange Chiffon , Shrimp Shell
Peach is a soft, vivid orange that reads as warm and inviting. It earns its place in autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (11.75:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Peach works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent. Pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks. Use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
