A muted red with brown undertones. #8c6564 sits closer to faded brick than fire, all its saturation stripped down to a dusty, matte warmth. That restraint makes it a strong supporting tone or 30% color rather than a hero. It flatters deep teal and warm cream, and white text clears WCAG AA on this hex code, so it works for dark UI panels and backgrounds.
