Sandstone

Sandstone (#C2A878) is a true amber 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 (39°, 38%, 62%) 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. The warm tan of sedimentary quartz cemented by iron or calcium. The building stone of Petra's Treasury, Utah's Delicate Arch, and half of Victorian London's railway viaducts.
