Romesco

I keep seeing Romesco on product pages that want "menu energy" without the heavy burn. Compared to À l'Orange and Glorious Sunset, it's a bit more baked and earthy, less late-day bright. Compared with Habañero, it's less hot and less saturated in the immediate hit. The result is a warmer, steadier orange with a slightly calmer undertone, so it feels intentional instead of spicy.

This is the one you reach for when you need a filled button or active state that reads clearly over typical UI lighting, especially in food delivery and travel interfaces. Think order-confirmation banners, category chips, promo tiles, and small status badges. It also plays well in ecommerce places where you want momentum on thumbnails, but not the "too forward" punch you can get from Habañero.

One quirk: on very pale backgrounds, Romesco can look a touch more grounded than its yellow-neighbor cousins, so I like it with charcoal or a slightly deeper orange border rather than relying on thin outlines alone.
