Polly
Also known as: Corn Kernel, Peach Crayon, Light Saffron Orange, Apricot Froth
Polly sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid orange that feels warm and inviting. Try it in friendly UI accents and children's products. Its complement lands in blue territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.24:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Polly works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- 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.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
