Polar Bear
Also known as: Mystic Fog , Diamonds Therapy , White Moderne , Luna Moon
As a pale take on yellow, Polar Bear carries sunny and uplifting energy that suits highlights and warnings and cheerful branding. Set it against a blue accent when you want the combination to pop. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 17.23:1 on black clears AA.

Where Polar Bear works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings. It turns warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation: a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
