Tobacco
Also known as: Radigan Conagher Brown, Black Power, Buckingham Palace, Coffee Liqueur
Tobacco is what happens when brown turns rich and gentle. The effect is earthy and grounded, made for leather goods and autumn design. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (7.58:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Tobacco works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material — coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
