Dusty orange with a heavy gray cast. #af998a sits closer to warm taupe than true orange, and its low saturation keeps things calm and earthy. It works best as a supporting tone behind cream, navy, or deep teal, and black text passes WCAG AA on it with room to spare. Watch it at large sizes though, where the gray can read muddy.
