Pastel it is not. #bced61 is a glowing lime, its sparkle coming from a heavy dose of yellow in the mix (see what colors make yellow). Use it as a small accent in sports or gaming design; a full background gets loud fast. Black text hits about 15.4:1 contrast on it, so fine type stays readable. The hex code #bced61 flatters deep plum or charcoal, which tame its neon edge.
