Neon lime at full intensity. #bdf40c is a light, heavily saturated yellow-green that glows on screen and reads as pure energy. It earns its keep as a small accent, on buttons, badges, or type against charcoal or deep navy, since full-page use can overwhelm the eye. White text fails on it, but black text hits about 16.1:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA.
