Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #e6c235?
#e6c235 pairs well with charcoal, deep navy, and dark plum, which temper its intensity. Softer warm neutrals like oatmeal also work when you want a calmer palette.
Is #e6c235 accessible for text and backgrounds?
Black text on #e6c235 reaches about 12.1:1 contrast, well past the 4.5:1 WCAG AA requirement, so small body text stays readable. White text on it fails badly, so stick with dark type.
When should I use #e6c235 in a design?
Use #e6c235 as an accent in a 60/30/10 split, for buttons, sale badges, and warning signage where it needs to grab attention fast. As a dominant background it tires the eye quickly.
