Muted clay orange with an earthy, sunbaked feel. #c6885f owes its mellow mood to low saturation and mid lightness, so it calms rather than shouts. It earns its keep as a supporting tone or accent, especially behind black text, which clears WCAG AA at roughly 7.1:1. Pair it with deep teal or charcoal for contrast, and skip pure white backgrounds where it washes out.
