Rajah
Also known as: Dreamy Sunset , Mango Salsa , Sailing Tangerine , Echinoidea Thorns
Rajah is what happens when orange turns soft and vivid. The effect is warm and inviting, made for friendly UI accents and children's products. Rajah plays well with blue tones. The harmonies below show which ones. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (11.10:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Rajah 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.
