Tiger King
#dd9922
Deeper amber-gold with punchier warmth than Lion King
About Tiger King
Tiger King looks like a glossy label gold pulled a little toward tangerine, like candy coating under a bright snack-aisle light. It's lighter than Kingpin Gold's metallic depth and less creamy-soft than Lion King. Compared to Persimmon, it keeps the yellow base tighter, so it doesn't drift into orange-peel freshness.
I use it when the UI needs that golden candy warmth without turning into the coin-like finish of Kingpin Gold or the softened mango tone of Lion King. In practice: snack and travel product thumbnails, flavor tabs, deal tiles, and small promo badges where you want the highlight to read warmer than pure white and still stay "friendly" beside off-whites. It's also my the one you reach for when packaging mockups need a yellow that feels quick and fun, not metallic, not dusty.
Pair it with charcoal, cocoa brown, or near-black for crisp separation, because this shade can look slightly flatter next to very bright yellows.
