#A8520C sits at 27° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 87% saturation and 35% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 168, 82, 12 produces a 5.42:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #A8520C is a clear variant of CSS sienna — about 34 units away from #A0522D. Designers reach for orange hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
