Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #edb518?
#edb518 looks richest against deep navy or charcoal, where its warmth stands out without glare. For softer palettes, try muted teal or warm gray as supporting tones.
Is #edb518 accessible for text backgrounds?
Yes. Black text on #edb518 reaches about 11.2:1 contrast, well above the WCAG AA requirement of 4.5:1, so it works behind small body text. Avoid white text on it, which falls short of that threshold.
When should I use #edb518 instead of a softer yellow?
Reach for #edb518 when you need urgency and visibility, like sale tags, warning signage, or call-to-action buttons. Because it is highly saturated, it works best as an accent in a 10% role rather than a full background.
