Notes
Moccasin is the warm tan of soft leather, named after the indigenous North American footwear. The CSS hex sits between Peach Puff and Wheat, with low chroma and a yellow-orange undertone. Outdoor, craft, and heritage brands use it as a quiet background. Pair with deep brown for type, or with muted forest green for a softer secondary accent. The warm cast makes it especially comfortable for product photography backgrounds in leather goods, handcrafts, and apparel. Body text contrast against white fails AA at every size - surface tone with dark text overlays.
