Not a bright lemon or a true olive, #b7bf74 sits between the two as a soft, unsaturated yellow. Its low saturation keeps it mellow and warm, which suits spring themes, baby products, and sale graphics. Black text reads clearly on it at about 10.7:1 contrast, past the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA asks of body text. Pair it with plum or deep teal instead of pale grays, which wash it out.
