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.
Color
#f2b91crgb(242, 185, 28)hsl(44, 89%, 53%)oklch(0.816 0.162 85.3)Charcoal, Cornflower Blue and Deep Sky Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #f2b91c: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Cornflower Blue sits directly opposite #f2b91c on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Deep Sky Blue is a split-complement of #f2b91c: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
4 real palettes, including Coffee Bar and Midnight Luxe put Champagne beside #f2b91c, as that palette's text colour.
Crimson is paired with #f2b91c in 5 real palettes, including Tabloid and Tequila Sunrise, as the lead colour.
Dark Olive Green shows up next to #f2b91c in 4 real palettes, including Farmers Market and Undergrowth, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Denim with #f2b91c: 8 real palettes, including Wikipedia's brand system and Warner Bros.'s brand system, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Dodger Blue with #f2b91c: 5 real palettes, including Heatwave and PostHog's brand system, as the accent.
