Hell of a color dilemma

    What would be a decent* HEX for the cheetah color? Not the spots, but that light brown background?

    The orange we’re using right now looks bad on the buttons, and we want the buttons and the logo to have the same 2 colors (black + ?): http://www.dicheetal.com/

    I googled “cheetah color hex” and came over THIS. Too bad that doesn’t look like a cheetah color to me (see the color in the attached logo). Or am I color blind or something?

    What’s the HEX a color guru would use to make sense in the mentioned circumstances?

    * by ‘decent’ I mean a color that would work fine for both the logo and buttons.

    Thanks

    Well, that's going to be tough. Not every cheetah has the same colour.

    My suggestion:

    Download the Firefox extension ColorPicker (lets you get the value of colors. If you have a photo editing program like photoshop or Gimp, you don't need to..)
    Search a picture of a cheetah that you like
    Activate ColorPicker and pick the color (copies the hex value into your clipboard. PS and GIMP also have color pickers FYI)
