Warrior
Also known as: Bannister Brown, Lye Tinted, Roman Coffee, Cocoa Shell
Warrior sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a gentle brown that feels warm and rustic. Try it in autumn design and coffee and food branding. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.25:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Warrior works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: As a brand anchor it reads established and tactile; pair with a single vivid accent for energy.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
