Dusty orange with terracotta undertones. The hex code #dd805d reads mellow rather than loud, its low saturation keeping the warmth easygoing. It works best as a supporting tone in autumn and food designs, and flatters deep teal as a pairing. Black text clears WCAG AA against it at about 7.3:1, so small type stays readable. That softness comes from pulling orange toward gray, which calms the heat without cooling it.
