Specifically, Honey Orange has a lightness of 70% and a saturation of 100%, bright and airy, ideal as a light background or accent color that creates a soft, comfortable atmosphere; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: An orange as sweet as honey.

For this reason Honey Orange tends to leave a first impression of being warm and friendly in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.
