 The contrast between the beige and orange is a bit low.  The ratio is
 currently 3.2:1 with f94a0a being the orange,  If we switch to CA3C08,
 then we can bump the ratio to 4.6:1.

 Even against white (#fff), the ratio is only 3.5:1.

 Why is this important:

 [http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-
 contrast.html]  explains why 4.5:1 is a minimum that we should aim for.
 Essentially it greatly will increase the readabilty for people with low
 visual acuity (roughly people with 20/40 vision).

 http://leaverou.github.com/contrast-ratio/ was used to check the ratios.
