Close to the orange of a peeled mango, #fd8b0d is a loud, saturated shade with real punch. Its hex code works best in small doses: buttons, badges, and calls to action. As a full background it tires the eye fast, so keep it to the 10% accent slot. Pair it with deep navy, and use black text on top for about 8.9:1 contrast, which passes WCAG AA for body copy.
