Use deep, cool neutrals like charcoal or navy to ground the lightness of #c9c45a. Because this yellow has an olive lean, it also creates a sophisticated, earthy palette when combined with muted forest greens or soft terracotta tones.

No, #c9c45a does not provide sufficient contrast for readable text against a white background. It is a light, desaturated hue, so you should always use this color as a graphic accent, background element, or border rather than for body text.
