Using this palette

Autumn palettes get overused as generic orange-and-brown; this one earns the name by pulling from actual harvest produce colors rather than fallen-leaf clichés — squash orange (#B85C38), corn husk gold (#D4A017), and the deep red-brown of a dried chili (#8B3A2B). #6B4226 does double duty as both a grounding neutral and a text color that reads legibly on the cream background. Good fit for food/recipe sites, farmers-market branding, or seasonal e-commerce banners; the gold and rust both sit in the same mid-lightness band, so don't rely on them alone to separate UI elements — pair with the brown or cream for real contrast.
