#BACE02 Hex Color
Sharp, glowing yellow built to pop
Not a soft butter yellow, #bace02 is a bright neon shade with a green edge that reads electric at any size. That intensity makes it a natural fit for sale tags, budget branding, and construction signage, though it works best as an accent rather than a full background. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy and use black text on top, since #bace02 hits about 11.9:1 contrast, well past the 4.5:1 needed for WCAG AA body text.
