Soft, warm orange-red for friendly charts and buttons
About Pompelmo
Pompelmo reads like a tangerine-red that's been pushed brighter and slightly cleaner, not dulled into pink the way Grenadine Pink can. Compared to Pastel Red's softer, stoplight-with-a-wink feel and Fusion Red's tight, higher-intent bite, this one lands looser and more sunlit, with a clear orange undertone. It's warm, yes, but it avoids that "true red" gravity.
I reach for Pompelmo in ecommerce and media admin screens where you want a warning or confirmation that still feels friendly. Think commerce dashboards, creator workflows, subscription controls, and moderation status chips that need to stand out without feeling aggressive. Use it for primary highlights on mid-tone surfaces and secondary CTA states in food delivery and retail ops where the interaction should feel direct but not heated.
Quirk: because it's lighter and more saturated than the pastel lane, it can look a little flighty next to deeper oranges. Pair it with darker, steadier neutrals to keep the hierarchy grounded.
