Not a sharp lemon yellow or a true green, #e0ed84 sits in the mellow zone between the two. Its high lightness and soft saturation read warm and glowing instead of loud. The hex code works best as a dominant base with dark text on top, since black hits about 16.6:1 contrast and passes WCAG AA for small type. Pair it with charcoal or deep plum rather than white to keep it from washing out.
