Burnt sienna with real weight. #a85734 is a muted, mid-dark orange-brown that reads earthy instead of bright, so it works best as a supporting tone or accent beside cream, sage, or deep teal. White text clears WCAG AA on it at roughly 5.1:1 contrast. Let it sit against plain white, though, and it can flatten fast.
