Not a bright caramel or a rich coffee brown, #875028 sits darker and duller, a muted earth tone with a red undertone. Its low saturation reads warm and serious, which suits coffee packaging, leather goods, and vintage layouts. It works best as a supporting tone; at full background size it can go muddy. White text on it reaches 6.5:1 contrast, so it clears AA for body copy.
