A saturated, strong orange with real heat. #d36a02 burns bright without tipping into neon, thanks to its earthy, pumpkin-like depth. It earns its keep as an accent: buttons, highlights, and calls to action. Full backgrounds can overwhelm, so spend it on the 10 percent of a palette. Black text passes contrast on it, and it reads sharper against deep teal than against plain white.
