Hex color #fbcb9c graphic
#fbcb9c is a pastel orange with a soft, peachy warmth. Its low saturation keeps the mood mellow, which suits spring campaigns, baby products, and food packaging. The color holds up best as a dominant background, and it flatters deep teal or navy far more than brighter oranges. Black text reads clearly on it at roughly 14.1:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. Next to plain white it can wash out, so add a darker anchor.
