Closer to dusty clay than true orange, #9d7d6c trades punch for a matte, ashy warmth. That low saturation keeps it calm, so it earns its place as a supporting tone in a 60/30/10 layout rather than the star. Next to plain white it can read muddy, so anchor it with cream or charcoal instead. Black text clears WCAG AA on it at about 5.6:1, which makes the hex code #9d7d6c a safe pick for backgrounds.
