#C75A21 Hex Color
Burnt orange with serious punch
Burnt orange with a rusty edge. #c75a21 is saturated but dark enough to hold its own against white, which suits it to buttons, badges, and autumn branding rather than full backgrounds. Pair it with deep teal for real contrast, or soften it with cream. Black text stays readable on it at 4.9:1, so the hex code works for small labels too, not just large shapes.
