#AE9C73 sits at 42° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 27% saturation and 57% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 174, 156, 115 produces a 7.80:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #AE9C73 is a clear variant of CSS rosy brown — about 34 units away from #BC8F8F. Designers reach for orange hues at this saturation when the brief calls for restraint and atmosphere, 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.
