Muted olive with a dusty yellow undertone. #8c7c54 reads warm and matte, closer to khaki than gold, so it works best as a supporting tone behind cream type or beside burgundy and faded denim. Its very low saturation keeps things calm but can turn muddy next to white. Black text clears WCAG AA over this hex code, so it holds up behind small body copy.
