Sandy like dried apricots, this pastel orange gets its mellow glow from high lightness and soft saturation rather than bold pigment. The hex code #eaa364 works well as a dominant base or background in spring layouts and packaging, though it can look washed out next to plain white. Deep teal makes it richer than navy does, and black text passes WCAG AA comfortably on top of it.
