Golden yellow with real punch. #d9bc2c is warm and saturated but dark enough to stay grounded, which keeps it from reading neon. Best as an accent at the 10 percent mark: sale banners, buttons, callout labels. Pair it with deep navy or charcoal instead of white, which washes it out. Black text on this hex code clears WCAG AA easily.
