#D4844A Hex Color
Mellow clay orange with earthy warmth
For autumn packaging or a food brand accent, this mellow orange earns its place. #d4844a is a muted, clay-toned orange with brown undertones, warm without being loud. Its low saturation suits a supporting role in the 60/30/10 split rather than the hero spot, and it looks richer against deep teal than against cream. Black text reads clearly on it at about 7.2:1 contrast.
