NCS S 1060-Y60R Amber

NCS S 1060-Y60R (#D98C30) is a vivid NCS amber — a yellow with strong red shift at high chromaticness and moderate depth, landing as a rich, warm orange-gold. Amber conveys autumn harvests, honey, and aged spirits; it's used in craft beer packaging, honey-product branding, and autumnal fashion collections for its warm richness.

True orange embodies enthusiasm, creativity, and adventure. It stimulates mental activity and social interaction, making it a favorite in creative industries. Orange is highly visible and conveys confidence without the aggression of red, bridging warmth and energy.

Medium orange excels in CTAs, pricing highlights, and gamification elements where excitement is desired. Tech companies and SaaS products use it to differentiate from the dominant blue of their competitors. It requires careful contrast checking since mid-range orange can fail WCAG on light backgrounds.
