#E7AE1D sits at 43° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 81% saturation and 51% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, balanced tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 231, 174, 29 produces a 10.47:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #E7AE1D is a close cousin of CSS goldenrod — about 16 units away from #DAA520. 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.
