Amber with real punch. #dda01e is a warm orange-yellow whose high saturation reads friendly and loud, which suits sale banners, sports branding, and autumn packaging. It holds up next to white better than most yellows, but a full background can tire the eye, so treat it as an accent or lean on charcoal for balance. Black text passes easily here at about 9.1:1 contrast.
