Hex color #ebcc70 graphic
#ebcc70 is a mellow pastel yellow with a soft golden glow. Its mid-level saturation keeps it warm and friendly, which suits spring themes, baby products, and sale banners. Black text stays highly readable on it, about 13.4:1 contrast, so it holds up as a background. It also flatters dusty pinks, so knowing what colors make pink helps when building a palette. Just avoid it next to pure white, where it can wash out.
