Drawn Jasmine

#fde188
Notes

Drawn Jasmine (#FDE188) 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 (46°, 97%, 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.

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.
