#E0CA00 Hex Color
Glowing yellow with electric energy
Not pastel and not muted, #e0ca00 is a bright, glowing yellow with a green-leaning undertone that reads electric at full saturation. Its intensity suits small doses, so treat it as a 10% accent in sale banners, pricing tags, or safety signage rather than a full background. It flatters deep navy better than plain white, and black text hits about 12.6:1 contrast on it, clearing WCAG AA with room to spare.
