Not a pure yellow, #c6ce35 leans toward green with a zesty citron edge. Its high saturation makes it glow, which suits sale banners and safety signage. It works best as a small accent, since full backgrounds can tire the eye. Pair it with deep plum for a richer contrast than neutrals give. Black text reads clearly on top at about 12.3:1, so small body copy stays legible.
