Closer to a highlighter pen than a lemon, this yellow glows with neon energy. Its hex code is #e3e82b, and that intensity works best as an accent in sale banners or safety graphics, not a full background. Pair it with charcoal for sharp contrast. Black text on top reaches about 15.8:1, well past WCAG AA for body copy.
