Woodgrain

A deeper wood-brown undertone for grounded charts
About Woodgrain
Woodgrain looks like a plank that's been sanded, then stained: medium brown with a steady, slightly yellow-leaning undertone. Compared to Eagle, it doesn't flash as coin-bright or go overtly golden. Compared to Olivia, it's a touch more muted and less clean in the midtone, with less "craft-paper" clarity. And versus Chilli Con Carne, it stays lighter and more reserved, so it reads more wood-stain than chili-brown.
In UI terms, I use Woodgrain for wood-texture warmth without the orange pop: product detail pages, e-commerce spec tables, and hospitality label systems where you want a brown that feels softly finished behind type. It's especially handy for pricing chips, modal footers, and section headers that need brown confidence but not the heavy presence of deeper ambers.
Pair it with cream, oat, or neutral greys. If you stick it next to very cool backgrounds, the yellow tint can start to feel dusty and flat fast.
