Neither bright gold nor true green, this dark olive sits in a mellow, earthy register. The hex code #7c662a is warm but low in saturation, so it reads grounded rather than flashy. That makes it a solid base for outdoor brands, rustic packaging, and military-inspired palettes, especially next to cream or charcoal. White text passes WCAG AA on it at roughly 5.5:1, though large areas can turn muddy, so use it with restraint.
