Glowing Lantern

Bright amber-gold warmth for CTA emphasis, glows less dry
About Glowing Lantern
Picture a lantern glowing through slightly smoky air, not blazing in daylight. Glowing Lantern reads warmer than Corona and more saturated than the softer yellows, but it avoids the gentler brightness that Beloved Sunflower carries. Where those can feel like they're trying to be friendly, this one comes off more purposeful, with a cleaner golden-lean and less "sallow-skin" softness than Buddha's Love Handles.
It's the kind of yellow I use for product pages and app dashboards where you want quick attention without drifting toward orange. Think logistics tracking chips, checkout highlights, delivery status steps, and marketing banners for food or retail. Compared to Corona, it holds onto its glow a touch longer. Compared to Buddha's Love Handles, it doesn't fade against warm neutrals.
Quirk: on very pale creams it can look a little too energized, so pair it with cool grays or dusty sage when the background is already warm.
