Open in tool →The three colours a maple goes through in October, on a warm white — loud, seasonal, and readable because the type is near-black.
Color
#e76e1drgb(231, 110, 29)hsl(24, 81%, 51%)oklch(0.672 0.172 48.2)Cadet Blue, Charcoal and Amber lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #e76e1d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #e76e1d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Amber is paired with #e76e1d in 5 real palettes, including Maple and Ember, as the accent.
8 real palettes, including Sketch's brand system and Readymag's brand system put Blue beside #e76e1d, as the accent.
Burlywood is paired with #e76e1d in 4 real palettes, including Kiln and Coffee Bar, as the accent.
Dark Olive Green shows up next to #e76e1d in 5 real palettes, including Farmers Market and Cider, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Deep Sky Blue with #e76e1d: 4 real palettes, including Cursor's brand system and Figma's brand system, as the accent.
Designers have shipped Denim with #e76e1d: 8 real palettes, including Fivetran blue's brand system and Postman's brand system, as the supporting colour.
