#aed902 is an intensely saturated, acidic lime green with significant yellow undertones. This high-visibility hue feels electric and restless, making it a poor choice for large backgrounds but an excellent 10% accent color for gaming interfaces or sports branding. It pairs surprisingly well with deep charcoal grays, which ground its neon intensity. Because black text maintains high legibility against this shade, use it confidently for call-to-action buttons.
