Flat Jasmine

#fbe388
Notes

Flat Jasmine (#FBE388) is a soft 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 (47°, 93%, 76%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light 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 blue. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Flat
adjective

Old Norse flatr, flat / level. As a color modifier, flat implies a clear-and-evenly-spread quality where the hue carries the matte-finish visual register of unmodulated single-plane surface. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to level and even in usage.

Jasmine
noun

Asian Jasminum officinale — an Oleaceae twining-vine native to West-Asian-and-Mediterranean garden-and-trellis cultivation, with iconic pure-white fragrant tubular-flowers. Jasmine color refers to a freshly opened Jasminum officinale bloom in a Spanish-Andalusia terrace-garden: a pure white with the velvet finish of fresh fused-petaled tubular five-petal corolla with the characteristic jasmine-fragrance.

Display P3 representation

The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
