Shrimp Cocktail

Soft pinkish coral-gold for lighter, airy highlights
About Shrimp Cocktail
I'd call Shrimp Cocktail a softer yellow-orange that reads like the inside of a shrimp shell: peachy and friendly, but not toasted. Compared to Bittersweet's sharper, leaner bite, this one is rounder and more relaxed. And unlike Rajah's mellow, more classic gold, Shrimp Cocktail keeps more citrus warmth in it without turning into the deeper apricot warmth of Goldfish.
In UI, I use it for product highlights and promotional chips where you want quick warmth without the spikier feel of Bittersweet. It lands well in e-commerce checkout moments like shipping badges, "bundle" labels, and limited-time tags, especially over light backgrounds. I also like it for food and hospitality screens where things should feel appetizing but not pantry-caramel.
Pair it with dark gray or espresso so the peachy undertone stays intentional, not washed out on matte finishes.
