Using this palette

Terracotta itself does most of the work here (#C1654A) — it's the anchor and everything else is built to support it, either darker (fired-clay shadow) or lighter (raw clay body, sand). Unlike a lot of warm palettes this one deliberately avoids yellow entirely, which keeps it reading as mineral/earth rather than tipping into 'autumn' territory; if you need a warm palette that doesn't feel seasonal, this is the one to reach for over autumn-harvest. #D9C4A9 and #F5EDE3 are close enough in value to double as interchangeable backgrounds, and #7A3B2E is dark enough to carry body text reliably against either.
