Soda Pop

#C3C67E

Also known as: Chimes , Mélange Green , Pine Glade , Celery Green

Soda Pop sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle yellow that feels cheerful and optimistic. Try it in summer palettes and highlights and warnings. A blue counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.70:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Soda Pop works

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.
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.
