Yakitori
Also known as: Whisky Sour, Tonkatsu, Brittlebush, Summer Glow
Quietly friendly and enthusiastic, Yakitori is a warm-toned orange that earns its keep in fitness brands and autumn palettes. A blue counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (10.46:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Yakitori works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
