Not quite gold and not quite pumpkin, #d68f00 sits between them as a deep amber orange. Its strong saturation keeps things lively without turning harsh, and black text reads clearly on top (about 7.8:1), so it holds up behind small type. Best used as an accent in sports branding, food packaging, or autumn palettes, since large washes can go muddy.
