Wobbegong Brown
Dusty muted brown with warm orange undertones
Wobbegong Brown is an unsaturated, dusty orange with a distinct warm undertone. Because it leans neutral, the hex code #c19a6b works best as a steady background color rather than a focal point. It pairs well with deep forest greens or charcoal grays to ground its lightness. Since black text provides excellent 8.1:1 contrast against this shade, it is a safe choice for readable body copy.
