Flash in the Pan

Flash in the Pan looks like a bright orange candle that's been lit just a little too long. It's lighter than Butternut and less coral-forward than Coralistic, so it lands in that quick, punchy middle where you feel energy but not the full weight of pure orange.

Compared to Candy's red-tilted softness, this one reads more golden and less "human-warm." I reach for Flash in the Pan when I want attention without the flare getting loud, especially in food and beverage promotions, e-commerce banners, and product UI moments like sale callouts, cart nudges, and onboarding highlights. It holds up in dense layouts against white, but it stays feeling airy because the shade is light enough to prevent heavy saturation from crowding text.

Pair it with cream backgrounds, warm grays, or muted browns. Go heavy with cool grays and you'll feel that mismatch immediately, like the orange can't settle.
