Salted
Also known as: Onion Skin, Magical Stardust, Ageless, Moth Mist
A gentle yellow with a bright and alert character, Salted works beautifully for summer palettes and highlights and warnings. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a white keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 17.34:1 on black clears AA.

Where Salted 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 — warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- 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, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
