Fresh, glowing yellow with a clear green undertone. #c6ce50 sits near chartreuse, so unlike the true orange you’d get from mixing red and yellow, it reads springlike and a little jazzy. Best as a 10% accent on buttons, badges, and sale tags, where it flatters deep plum or charcoal. Black text on top hits about 12.3:1 contrast, well past AA for small body text.
