Using this palette

Runs hotter and more saturated throughout than sunflower-field, closer to the intense orange-yellow of marigold petals used in South Asian festival garlands and natural dyeing than to a mellow late-summer field — the absence of any green support color (unlike sunflower-field's stem tone) keeps this one entirely about the flower itself. Copy belongs in #4A2E00 alone; the top two swatches stay too light and saturated for anything beyond accents or large display type. Suits festival, celebration, or natural-dye/textile branding specifically.
