Frequently Asked Questions

How do I best use #d9a520 in a UI layout?
Use #d9a520 primarily for call-to-action buttons or small visual highlights where high attention is required. Because this shade is so saturated, grounding it against neutral colors like charcoal or navy prevents it from feeling visually overwhelming to the viewer.
Is #d9a520 accessible for body text?
Generally, #d9a520 lacks sufficient contrast against white backgrounds to be used for body text. It is much safer to pair this golden yellow with black or very dark text when you need to maintain readability for your users.
