#EA6823 Hex Color
Burns bright, never shy
#ea6823 is a bold orange that leans toward red, saturated enough to read as ablaze even at small sizes. Its mid lightness and high chroma give it punch, which suits calls to action, badges, and sports branding. Treat it as an accent in a 60/30/10 palette rather than a full background, where it can exhaust the eye. It flatters deep navy, and black text on top passes WCAG AA at about 6.5:1.
