Agate

#8f4e2e
Notes

Agate (#8F4E2E) is a true orange with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (20°, 51%, 37%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary azure. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. Banded chalcedony named for Sicily's Achates river, where Theophrastus first described it. Carved into Roman cameos and the micromosaic tabletops that Grand Tour tourists shipped home from Italy.
