Pear is a high-energy neon yellow with strong green undertones that demand attention. Because of its intensity, it works best as a 10% accent color for call-to-action buttons or highlights rather than a main background. It pairs surprisingly well with deep charcoal grays to ground its sparkling brightness. The hex code for this shade is #d1e231, which offers excellent readability with black text.
