This hue is inspired by the vivid orange of freshly pressed carrot juice, its brightness drawn from beta-carotene, the same pigment that lends carrots their name. Long valued for nourishment, carrots famously entered folklore during World War II when the British claimed their pilots’ night vision came from eating carrots—a deliberate myth meant to hide the fact that they were actually using new radar technology to spot enemy planes in the dark. While beta-carotene does support eye health, the legend was pure propaganda. Still, this shade retains an earthy energy that feels both vibrant and wholesome.
