Not the loud yellow of caution tape, #dedeb1 is a pale, faded yellow with a soft khaki undertone. Its very low saturation keeps it mellow, which suits spring themes, baby products, and minimal backgrounds where pure white feels too stark. It works best as a dominant base rather than an accent, since it can wash out next to white. Black text over this hex code reaches about 15.2:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA.
