Orange
#f37420
The plain name fits: this is a straight, saturated orange, the color of a ripe persimmon or a traffic cone, with strong red and yellow components almost evenly balanced. Black makes it graphic and urgent, Glaucous Green cools it with a chalky sage, and Rosolanc Purple creates a hot clash that reads as deliberately bold. At 2.9:1 on white it falls short even for large text, but black text on it reads well at 7.3:1. It fits sports kit, outdoor gear, wayfinding signs, and mid-century kitchen laminates.
