#9da511 is a bold citron yellow with an olive undertone. Its saturation gives it plenty of energy, but the darker lightness keeps it off neon territory, so it works best as an accent for calls to action, sale tags, and highlights rather than a full background. Black text reads clearly on it at roughly 7.8:1 contrast. Pair it with charcoal or burnt orange for warmth without losing its punch.
