Hex color #788910 graphic
Muted like dried moss or an old pickle jar, #788910 is a rather unsaturated yellow with warm, mellow undertones. Its low saturation makes large surfaces feel muddy, so treat it as a supporting tone or accent rather than a dominant base. It flatters cream and deeper brown tones, and black text stays readable on it at about 5.4:1 contrast, enough for AA body copy.
