#DB9938 Hex Color

#db9938 pairs well with navy, charcoal, and muted teal, which temper its warm golden orange character and create clearer contrast than pale neutrals in branding, food packaging, sports graphics, and autumn palettes.

#db9938 supports black text at about an 8.6:1 contrast ratio, exceeding WCAG AA's 4.5:1 requirement for body text; white text has much weaker contrast, so use dark lettering for small type.
