Apply the 60-30-10 rule: use the dominant color (#92400E) for 60% of your design, the secondary color (#B45309) for 30%, and use the accent color (#D97706) for the remaining 10% on calls-to-action and key highlights. This distribution creates natural visual hierarchy without overwhelming your audience.
In web and app design, define these colors as CSS custom properties at the start of your project for consistent use across all components. For print design, convert the hex values to CMYK to ensure accurate reproduction. Pair the darkest shade with light backgrounds and the lightest shade with dark backgrounds to maintain readable contrast ratios.
