#FB7E3C Hex Color
Built to grab attention
Orange with real bite. The hex code #fb7e3c is saturated and warm, bright without tipping into full neon. That intensity earns it a place in the 10 percent of a palette: buttons, highlights, sports branding. As a full background it can overwhelm, though black text reads clearly on it at about 8.2:1 contrast. It flatters deep teal far better than plain navy.
