Scampi
Also known as: Just a Fairytale , Reign Over Me , Inner Journey , Giant Onion
Scampi is what happens when blue turns medium and gentle. The effect is steady and dependable, made for SaaS products and finance apps. Its complement lands in yellow territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. On white it reads clearly at 5.29:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Scampi works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds. It passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation: a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Sits in the trust register: a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
