Saffron
Open in tool →Saffron and clove with a teal counterpoint — spice-market warmth, balanced so it doesn't go orange everywhere.
Harvest
Open in tool →Pumpkin, straw and burnt gold on parchment — the autumn palette that still feels like a product, not a place-mat.
Maple
Open in tool →The three colours a maple goes through in October, on a warm white — loud, seasonal, and readable because the type is near-black.
Tequila Sunrise
Open in tool →Red through orange to yellow — the poured-drink gradient as flat tokens; use it left-to-right, never all at once.
