Pheasant
Also known as: Rakuda Brown, Chivalry Copper, Rich Copper, Cattle Drive
A lively brown with a warm and rustic character, Pheasant works beautifully for autumn design and coffee and food branding. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a cyan keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 6.28:1 on black clears AA.

Where Pheasant 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: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material — coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
