Use "#CCB066" for headlines and important text on dark backgrounds, or a crisp white for general body text to ensure maximum readability against the deep reds and browns.

Accessibility notes

Ensure sufficient contrast when using "#CCB066" (gold) on any of the darker red shades, especially "#7D0A0A" or "#B41B1B".
Text in black or a very dark charcoal on "#CCB066" will likely fail contrast ratios; opt for white or a very dark red from the palette.
The deepest red, "#4A0505", provides excellent contrast for white or light gold text, making it suitable for primary content.
Be mindful of using "#332B2B" for large blocks of text; it might require a lighter text color than "#CCB066" to maintain readability.
