Loud, saturated orange with real punch. #f08226 carries enough brightness to read as a highlight but stays warm and mellow, not neon-harsh. Best as an accent at around 10% of a palette, since full-width backgrounds can overwhelm. It looks sharper against deep teal or charcoal than against white, and black text on it passes AA for body copy. The hex code #f08226 suits calls to action, sports branding, and autumn themes.
