Lighter orange-coral for track lane accents
About Track and Field
Track and Field is the orange you see on worn running shoes, not fresh paint. It feels a notch darker than the tomato-leaning Pimento and less red-forward than Happy Hearts. Compared to Jelly Slug's glazed tangerine warmth, this one reads more grounded, with a steadier orange undertone and a slightly muted, athletic mood.
I use it when I need a primary accent that stays readable over busy photography, especially in sports media and event branding, plus track and field microsites where score tiles, standings ribbons, and "live" chips need to pop without turning ember-hot. It also works hard in product UI for primary buttons and highlighted selections on light or neutral surfaces, fitting the same role as dashboards and finance apps accents but with a less urgent, more matter-of-fact temperature.
Pair it with tan grays, slate, or crisp cream to keep it from getting flat beside very saturated tangerines.
