#F6C1A7 Hex Color
Soft orange with a dusty peach cast
This isn’t a loud tangerine. #f6c1a7 is a pastel orange with a dusty, peachy warmth, kept mellow by its low saturation. It earns its keep as a large background rather than a small accent, since black text on top reaches about 13.1:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. Pair it with deep teal or plum to keep spring palettes from going washed out.
