Closest to a dried sage leaf, olive sits on the dusty, almost grey end of yellow. #898772 has that matte, faded quality, so it reads earthy instead of fresh. It earns its keep as a supporting tone or background, where black text on it clears WCAG AA contrast at about 5.8:1. Pair it with deep teal or burgundy for richness. Large fields can turn muddy, so keep a brighter accent nearby.
