#E5C28C Hex Color

#e5c28c is too light to serve as a primary text color against a white background due to poor readability. Use it for background accents or large graphic elements instead, and always pair it with deep, dark text colors like charcoal to ensure sufficient contrast.

Deep forest green or dark charcoal provide the best contrast for #e5c28c, grounding its soft, warm orange tones. These darker colors help balance the low saturation of #e5c28c, preventing the palette from feeling washed out while adding a stable visual anchor.
