Don’t expect punchy orange here. #ab855e is a dusty, ashy shade with brown undertones, closer to tan than tangerine. Its low saturation suits a supporting role behind dark charcoal or cream, and it shines in autumn palettes, packaging, and calm backgrounds. Black text reads clearly on it at about 6.2:1, so it passes WCAG AA for body copy.
