How to use #92794c

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Headings from 24px up on white
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Black text placed on it
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #54462C
Safe as a 1px border on white

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

Hard to make feel premium, and it collides with the "caution" band in status systems.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #92794c over white; the bottom row is the same alpha over a checkerboard, so you can see what survives on a photo or a video.

Bottom row of hexes is the flattened result over white — use those when a design tool refuses transparency, or when you need a solid fallback.

#92794c, answered

What color is #92794c?

#92794c is a dark soft orange, closest to Dark Goldenrod (ΔE2000 13.2). It sits at 39° on the hue wheel with 32% saturation and 44% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #92794c?

rgb(146, 121, 76) — 146 red, 121 green and 76 blue out of 255, or 57.3% / 47.5% / 29.8% by channel.

What is #92794c in HSL and HSV?

hsl(39, 32%, 44%) and hsv(39, 48%, 57%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #92794c a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2031 and perceived brightness is 49%, so black text on it reaches 5.06:1.

Should I use black or white text on #92794c?

Black. It scores 5.06:1 against #92794c, versus 4.15:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #92794c accessible on a white background?

#92794c on white scores 4.15:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #8B7348 to reach 4.5:1, or #665535 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #92794c?

#4C6592 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #4C8892 and #564C92, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #92794c?

For interface work: #FAF8F5 as the surface, #E3DAC9 for borders, #977D4F for secondary text, #487796 as an accent and #54462C for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #92564C and #88924C stays calm, while #4C6592 is the loudest partner.

What is #92794c in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 17%, 48%, 43%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #92794c warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 11 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #926D4C; nudged cooler, #93944A.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #92794c?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 15 away. That is a visible difference, so define #92794c as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #92794c in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#92794c] or text-[#92794c], or register the whole ramp under theme.extend.colors.brand so you get bg-brand-500 and friends. The generated 50–950 scale on this page is ready to paste into your config.

What is #92794c with 50% opacity?
