Description
Mellow amber orange like roasted butternut squash, carrying a gentle, satisfying warmth of the season.
Psychology
Softer than pure orange, it tends to feel comforting and approachable, warm without being loud.
Meaning
It calls to mind squash, honey and amber resin, often linked with harvest plenty and slow seasonal cooking.
