Flaming Bath
Flaming Bath (#F1C75E) is a true amber with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (43°, 84%, 66%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary azure. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old French flamme, flame — present-participle of flame. As a color modifier, flaming implies a saturated-and-fire-and-bright-color quality, the bright color of autumn-Maple-and-Oak deciduous-foliage fall-color and Yule-log fire emission. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to fiery and blazing in usage.
The English Roman-spa city — and the cream-tan of Bath stone, the oolitic limestone used in the city's Georgian terraces and the Royal Crescent. The color refers to the south-facing facade of the Royal Crescent at midday: a soft, slightly cool warm cream-tan with the matte finish of Bath stone. Lighter than Cotswold, cooler than honey.
