#EF8250 Hex Color
Warm orange with a mellow edge
Orange with punch, mellowed just enough. The hex code #ef8250 reads warm and fairly saturated, closer to coral than pumpkin. That lightness keeps it friendly rather than loud, which suits food packaging, sports branding, and autumn layouts. It works best as an accent, and black text stays readable on top at about 8:1 contrast. Pair it with deep teal.
