Tiger
Also known as: Mojave Gold, Rustic City, Gilded Pear, Danish Pine
Quietly friendly and enthusiastic, Tiger is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep in friendly UI accents and children's products. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.14:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Tiger works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
